> The problem is Zoom could intercept and decrypt streams, if they wanted to

And we have the spirit of encryption to guarantee they, or a third party who infiltrated/hacked them, won't.

>> and in that spirit, we used the term end-to-end encryption




The spirit of encryption? What does that mean? End to end encrypted means from one client through all networks and servers to the other client, no one can decrypt the traffic. Anything besides that is not end to end.


It means nothing but this is what Zoom tells us we have. Encryption given "in the spirit" of their intentions.

> Zoom has always strived to use encryption to protect content in as many scenarios as possible, and in that spirit, we used the term end-to-end encryption.


Oh, I missed your sarcasm originally. I agree that it’s meaningless.
