Correct. And, People who like Power are seeing an Opportunity to get more power.

ANY TIME you can predict what people will do, e.g. be shut-ins, that is an opportunity to be exploited for better or worse.

IF YOU CAN MAKE PEOPLE DO things, en masse, then you're IN POWER. Congratulations.

Zoom giving data to Facebook during a crisis means Facebook can track your critical social network members.

I do expect the crisis will pass, and I don't want to have LOST any more of my privacy as a by-product.

Does it really make sense to call it a "VC app" when Zoom is a public company worth more than Ford or GM?

"Video Conferencing app", not venture capital.

There are so many other alternatives that don't sell out user privacy, so calling them out for slimy shit like this is never inappropriate.
