Guaranteed every person that is currently using zoom was complaining about Facebook Portal when it was launched.

Zoom announced today that it’s removing @Facebook’s SDK from it’s app.

When we were building the @HiHello app we consciously chose NOT to use the Facebook SDK, even though it would give better conversion tracking.

Wish more app devs would boycott FB. https://t.co/m3S75CDrNo

FINALLY. But beware: this doesn’t stop Zoom from actually selling your data to Google—or Facebook, for that matter. https://t.co/pDR2XjjswD

Shadow profile created with fingerprint, if fingerprinting could not uniquely identify an FB user who has never logged into Zoom via FBID? Or bucketing to set of profiles if fingerprinting was close but not unique? Enquiring minds want to know. Cc: @robleathern in case he knows.

What is with everyone's sudden Zoom obsession? It's basically malware. Why not use something that already has all of your data, like Google Hangouts? https://t.co/HHndAr5u4C

That’s why you need to audit every SDK you add to your app. It’s your app, it’s your responsibility. https://t.co/5m5yS47z1q pic.twitter.com/Ehmy3dD0sG

Zoom Removes Code That Sends Data to Facebook.
The change comes after Motherboard found the Zoom iOS app was sending analytics information to Facebook when users opened the app. https://t.co/9WZmuoFWF6 via @vice

Zoom sends analytics data to Facebook, even if Zoom users don't have a Facebook account, Motherboard reports.

Zoom has stopped the data leakage to Facebook. That’s good. But their privacy policy is still a complete trash fire that belittles privacy legislation, and grants themselves the right to do exactly what they were just caught doing. https://t.co/oowYsWrxEV pic.twitter.com/hWj0BEoD2y

— DHH (@dhh) March 28, 2020

What’s astounding about this privacy policy is just how transparent Zoom is about the nastiness of adtech. That data provided by Zoom to Google will be combined with other sources, and this stew of plundered data is then sold to the highest bidder for as targeting.

— DHH (@dhh) March 28, 2020

Very common considering the # of iOS apps which have the Facebook SDK installed. Not to mention the apps that use Google’s SDKs. Reminder for developers: a library added to your app has access to everything your app can access, even if you never call it. https://t.co/DiKLazLupC

So I googled "Zoom privacy concerns"; not pretty! Several recent news reports on the subject, including this one from today https://t.co/SzaNFahgXJ. What a pity! Zoom does beat its competition in terms of stability and video quality but seems to drop the ball on privacy.

Zoom has become a staple of work meetings. Ever since the stealth web server "feature", I've been suspicious of Zoom security and always run it from browser without installation. Recent privacy issues may justify that paranoia. https://t.co/g9pOiNrxIE

This happens whether or not you have a Facebook account. https://t.co/HuX1no1tSB

It’s things like this that really p**s me off. Zoom may have a lot of nice configuration settings and good video quality, but they are using the same model as Facebook, but worse, you pay for the service and you ARE the product. https://t.co/UGqcRwgRt5

While you work from home, watch out that your data is not being shared without your knowledge.
