> If Zoom were even skirting the line here, their lawyers would put the kibosh on it real quick

Their lawyers didn't stop them from claiming to provide end-to-end encryption, a blatant misrepresentation that resulted in receiving a consent order from the FTC [1] and settling a class-action suit for $85M [2], so I don't think it's safe to assume that they would prevent the company from doing obviously unacceptable things.
