Zoom says it won't use your calls to train AI 'without your consent' after its terms of service sparked backlash and prompted people to talk about ditching the service::The company updated its terms of service to say that users must consent to the content of their calls being used to train its AI amid privacy concerns.
Wouldn't the terms of service be considered the consent?
Yes.
I don't think their ToS for business customers included a clause like that. No idea about personal users, as nobody ever reads that ToS.
There exists FOSS Zoom, use it.

I hate being forced to use this crap
Hahaha as if they care about my consent
"Until we release an update to zoom that 'accidentally' enabled that feature for everyone"
Just use Jitsi, you can even host it yourself

Rossman fan?
No, what/who is it ?
Louis Rossman is a big proponent of radical ideas like 'owning the things you paid for' and right to repair, privacy, etc.
A few weeks back he made a video about how shitty the ToS of Zoom was, basically 'we can use all of your data and you can't take any legal action.'
He proposed Jitsi, and this is only the second time I've ever heard of it.
Thanks, will look him up.
I tried to lobby for Jitsi at work, but habits die hard. There's also a general mistrust in things that are free, because they're associated with poor service/quality. I observe that everywhere, regardless of field.
Which is so weird because so many companies heavily rely on open source for their programs.
They've already introduced the idea now every business and agency which uses it has to consider the risks. Lmao.
