    “We won’t use your calls to train AI without your consent, so it’s a good thing our new TOS includes you giving us your consent.”

      Exactly. They can say whatever the hell they want. In the end only the ToS matters. If the ToS says they can, then they will.

      Zoom did in fact use this data without consent

      Zoom: Oopsie, that wasn’t our intention, haha

    Fuck Zoom. It was always a piece of shit software that was never all that secure to begin with. I hope they go out of business soon.

        You have to read a 6 page Eula and that’s the only place with a link to opt out. In theory, I’m just spitballing.
