Zoom is compromised

[Farell FOLLY]

Dear Raoul,

Thanks for sharing this. However, I don’t think the word “compromised” is the right one to use here, unless I don’t understand what you would like to mean. What is described in the link you shared as well as in your second e-mail is something about privacy setting of the apps….that the user could prevent in many ways. Indeed, anytime you use your browser or anything that connect you to the internet, if you do not properly set up your privacy and cookie setting, it always send some data about your device, your operating system and your location. This situation is even worse when you accept cookies on a 3rd party website without reading it in details… A “yes” on a website most of the time means: “yes propagate all my date to all your thousand partners”.
