As it turns out, using teleconferencing software that isn't end to end encrypted, uses malware tactics in its coding and has nearly a third of it's employees in China (Archive) may have been a bad idea.

This must be one of the few intelligent things Elon Musk has done, as industrial espionage by Chinks is huge concern, this and convincing Trump to give him $16 billion in subsides to develop his satellite internet project, and also convincing Trump to give him billions in corporate welfare for his solar energy and electric car iniciatives.
Scummy but nevertheless intelligent, however, I'd bet it wasn't difficult, considering Musk is one of the main donors of the Republican Party.

lmao holy shit, the company i work for started pushing this shit hard last month, and now that everyone is working remotely, they are forced to install this shit on their phones. Not me though, fuck that... luckily I'm not that high up in the food chain to be a part of whatever company decisions are taking place, but for the people that have called me for tech support (specifically the camera's that the head of the Manhattan branch decided to ship to everyone's houses that decide not to work half the time and also come from China), they HAAAAATE using Zoom... like to the point where someone asked me for better alternatives.

That's not good, my workplace has been using Zoom for all our meetings and such. Thank fuck I have a work laptop so I don't have to touch this with my actual PC.
I won't be shocked if my workplace will look at alternatives considering the IT there are autistic about security, and I'd be glad if they did.
