Zoom to launch end to end encryption for all users, not just paid accounts. Work around to avoid abuse is to make users sign up with a phone number https://blog.zoom.us/... https://twitter.com/...

Zoom is insisting that free users authenticate their accounts, but that's no different from paid users, and seems justifiable given the abuses they're trying to confront. Zoom has made a ton of missteps, but they've also shown a willingness to listen and change course. https://tw…

Zoom will offer end-to-end encryption as an option, not a default, for all users. To fight abuse, users who want it will have to verify, for instance by linking a phone number. But: Will end-to-end be available for conferences including Chinese users? https://blog.zoom.us/...

Maybe in a minority here, but I'd rather just not have E2E on Zoom for the few times I use it rather than give it my phone number. This is a good trade-off to prevent likely abuse though; live streaming child abuse is rampant.
