- Zoom has announced that su casa es mi casa. (Stack Diary)
What raises alarm is the explicit mention of the company's right to use this data for machine learning and artificial intelligence, including training and tuning of algorithms and models. This effectively allows Zoom to train its AI on customer content without providing an opt-out option, a decision that is likely to spark significant debate about user privacy and consent. Zoom has always been run by scumbags. It's a miracle they haven't been sued out of existence by now.Additionally, under section 10.4 of the updated terms, Zoom has secured a "perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license" to redistribute, publish, access, use, store, transmit, review, disclose, preserve, extract, modify, reproduce, share, use, display, copy, distribute, translate, transcribe, create derivative works, and process Customer Content. This kind of language is normal, but usually specifies that this is to be done solely to provide the service to the customer, not just for whatever the company wants.
This predictably blew up on Hacker News, eliciting this response from Zoom:Hi there - this is Aparna from Zoom, our Chief Operating Officer. Thank you for your care and concern for our customers - we are grateful for the opportunity to double click on how we treat customer content. Double click?To clarify, Zoom customers decide whether to enable generative AI features (recently launched on a free trial basis) and separately whether to share customer content with Zoom for product improvement purposes. There may be a button to do so in the application.
The problem is with your terms of service, in which you grant yourself license to do whatever the fuck you want, buttons be damned.
