Thank you. What are you doing to mitigate the privacy risks of such proprietary software in general, and Zoom specifically?
In such a stressful period, I think it's important to protect the vulnerable from such risky tools. https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/ https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/what-you-should-know-about-online-tools-during-covid-19-crisis https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2020/mar/17/remotetools/

Thanks for bringing this up. Everyone should think about their own comfort
level with 3rd party technologies in general. As host, I am not enabling the features to track participants' activities, nor am I consulting any data that may be available to me on individual participants, beyond the name you choose to enter (which is visible to all participants in the call). But I do encourage everyone to consult the links you provided, which I've left below, and decide your own comfort level with using Zoom or any other videoconferencing solution.
