Initial reports suggest that Zoom took this step as it wants to work with law enforcement agencies.
Luckily the free users will still have access to Zooms AES 256 GCM encryption.
Consequently, it is important for Zoom to worry about the privacy and security of years.
A majority of privacy and security experts are unhappy with the decisions of Zoom.
A spokesman from Zoom said the company already offers basic encryption for users of all tiers.
He added that Zoom does not proactively monitor meeting content.
We do not share information with law enforcement except in circumstances like child sex abuse, he said.
We do not have backdoors where anyone can enter meetings without being visible to others.
None of this will change.
He further added, Gating personal privacy behind a paywall erodes basic freedoms and fairness.
We do not have backdoors where participants can enter meetings without being visible to others.
Free users sign up with an email address, which does not provide enough information to verify identity.
