The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has called for FOSS contributors to “exit Zoom” due to recent terms of service changes granting Zoom rights to use private user data to train machine learning models.
Zoom has since amended their terms again to say they would not use private data in this way, but, as the SFC points out, “Zoom reserves the right to change the terms at any point. Only suggesting that users ‘regularly check’ for updates to ensure their security and rights are not taken from them.”
In response, the SFC is “working to mitigate the damage that Zoom is causing to our colleagues” by expanding access to the BigBlueButton chat server. “Today we are making it an official part of our infrastructure that we provide to FOSS projects that are part of our organization. More importantly, we announce that we are welcoming anyone who contributes to FOSS who needs access to a video chat server they can trust to apply for access,” the SFC says.
