Zoom terms of service now require you to allow AI to train on ALL your data (nitter.net)

Be careful with Zoom guys.

Edit: It seems that they have updated their TOS , however I will never trust a company like this , remember with all of this AI going around right now Data is the new oil.

Title probably needs to be reworded. Terms clearly mention they won't use it without user consent, not that they MUST use it. Doesn't mean it'll stay that way, but just don't consent for it when asked and you're probably okay (I'm mentioning this for those who have no choice but to use it, for things like work)

But if you don’t consent, do they still let you use their services? I’m going to bet that, at best, it’ll be designed to make users think they must consent to use the service.

Who knows, guess we'll find out. The only point I was trying to make is the title of the article being misleading to an assumption rather than fact. It's very possible what you just mentioned is the case, but we won't know until later. My personal concern is the fact Zoom is used for work for many and getting around that for most folks will be the hard part. I hope the terms for free users vs business agreements differ.

So don’t agree to the terms of service? This could count as consent.

What does consent consist of? Most other TOS state that using the product means you consent to whatever is included in the TOS.
