Didn't Zoom hire Keybase to do their encryption?

> This slight benefit is fairly silly, because we have no reason to give greater credibility (regarding ethics) to one set over another. At least it's a smaller set, though.

Well, before we had to trust simply that people with networking access were non-malicious. Now, we can simply trust that at least one of [crypto, network] people are non-malicious. That seems like an improvement to me.

For me, hiring the Keybase team did not increase my trust in Zoom; it sadly lowered my opinion of the Keybase team (which had already taken a hit due to their integration of cryptocurrency into the Keybase platform).
