Zoom is not even end to end encrypted (edit: now), and was built for businesses, and apps are close to malware installers

Zoom is not malware and never was malware, although Zoom did so some installer tricks to help computer illiterate users get into meeting more quickly, which coincidentally is their entire value-add.
Note I own no shares in Zoom, do not and never have worked for Zoom, and have no financial interest in Zoom.

I have never said that. I said that installers are close to malware.
> which coincidentally is their entire value-add.
Yes. This also enabled full camera and mic access without user interaction. Entire value-add.
