David Hansson, maker van Ruby on Rails en de oprichter van Basecamp heeft weinig zachte woorden over voor Zoom in zijn twitterthread van 31 maart 2020. Lees zijn tweets hier:
What pains me about Zoom being such sleazeballs when it comes to both security and privacy is just how unnecessary it is. They have good fundamental tech! But as the skeletons keep falling out of the closet, it’s clear that the organization is fundamentally corrupt.

Here’s another example from just last year where they created a security hole in OSX so bad Apple had to issue an operating system patch. Again, not merely by mistake, but out of malice to sidestep reasonable OS protections. https://t.co/WbEBmYSWjO

And now that Zoom has taught everyone just to click on native installers that work like malware, surprise, surprise, real malware is piggybacking on those habits. https://t.co/l6YlgxqBWq

And then there’s the questionable snitch feature they built to let bosses know which employees to reprimand for not paying attention to their boring presentations. https://t.co/NiGoAywtuR https://t.co/jVSIgaaHKF

Oh, and how would you like to get zoom bombed by some dude intent on playing porn during your meeting? https://t.co/tZnkZmddVm

Or have your camera or mic taken over by hackers because Zoom left the door open when they broke into the OSX install protections. https://t.co/6KtVjOyKGj https://t.co/U7VtWNOdpg

Yoinks. It's not just live Zoombombs, it's also all the Zoom mines left unexploded and ready to be exploited. https://t.co/YJtTaOKst2
