Zoom terms of service now require you to allow AI to train on ALL your data—audio, facial recognition, private conversations—unconditionally and irrevocably, with no opt out. Don’t try to negotiate with our new overlords.

Be careful with Zoom guys.

Edit: It seems that they have updated their TOS , however I will never trust a company like this , remember with all of this AI going around right now Data is the new oil.

    Not sure if they have only just added a clarification, but it now says

    Notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.

      Which seems to imply that by agreeing to their TOS, you are giving consent for them to use this.

        THIS! When I read Zoom’s response to the tweet that was the focus of this original post, my initial thought was “…but you are having them agree to terms without an opt-out”

        Zoom’s about to try and claim their click through EULA trumps client-attorney privilege. Let’s see how that goes for them.

      As I understand it’s extortionate consent though. Either you “consent” to your private data being used in this way, or you can’t use Zoom.

      Good thing there’s self hosted and E2EE alternatives.
