Did they actually establish a clear pattern of malfeasance? To me, a DevOps dude, it seems like they simply did not pay attention to security and privacy and focused on making features as easy to use as possible. Many security experts will tell you that security is all about trade offs between convenience and privacy. Zoom went to market basically only focused on convenience and now that the whole world is using the platform they have all eyes on their products.
It doesn't seem like anything they did warrants "Blood Sacrifice", and it doesn't seem like anything they did was criminal negligence. Security incompetence? Yes certainly, but lets be real, 99% of companies would fail under the same security scrutiny if the company suddenly had 190 million more users using their same product over night. Aren't you at least glad their CEO cares enough to address these issues? Its not like Facebook drastically addressed their users privacy issues, even with intense scrutiny over the last few years. The situation with Zoom could be much much worse. They definitely have some more work to do, and we should keep holding them accountable, but since I am forced to use Zoom for work, I'm glad they're even pretending to take these issues seriously.
