Zoom lied to users about end-to-end encryption for years, FTC says

[Costas]

"In fact, Zoom did not provide end-to-end encryption for any Zoom Meeting that was conducted outside of Zoom's 'Connecter' product (which are hosted on a customer's own servers), because Zoom's servers—including some located in China—maintain the cryptographic keys that would allow Zoom to access the content of its customers' Zoom Meetings," the FTC complaint said.

Bloom said : If Zoom could lie about it for four more years and face these consequences a second time, they absolutely would. This encourages deception and lying from corporations.
