Not only is Zoom's strong end-to-end encryption not actually end-to-end, its encryption isn't even that strong

"But for the vast majority of their recent influx of users - students & teachers, grandmas and grandkids, that really isn't a big deal and their traffic is worth anybody decrypting. "

Depends on what is being transferred. Anyone using Zoom for work related purposes could very easily fall foul of the GDPR. I know where I work we strongly advise users not to use Zoom, and anyone found to be discussing corporate business via zoom will be dealt with by their line manager when we reopen.

Might seem a bit strict, but our IT director had serious concerns about both Zoom's security and their apparent lack of compliance with GDPR.

That said, I don't know how we'd determine if someone had transferred corporate data via Zoom.
