  1. So @zoom_us is one of the worst macOS app possible First, they silently installed a web server that was able to access the webcam and *wasn’t removed* when the app was uninstalled And now, they completely disregard macOS good practices when installing their client Just gross @daringfireball/1244739434928435200

      They also sent a ton of data to Facebook with their iOS app, and when caught they removed the FB integration Actions speak louder than words, and contrary to what they say, @zoom_us actions clearly show they don’t care at all about their users’ privacy vice.com/en_us/article/z3b745/zoom-removes-code-that-sends-data-to-facebook

        Regarding the always running server: it was even worse than just installing it, it was actually used to re-install @zoom_us app without the user authorization! Sure, they removed the server, but it’s wicked to do things like that in the first place daringfireball.net/linked/2019/07/10/nguyen-zoom
