Zoom Brings End-to-End Encryption To Free Users, Too

When Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) introduced end-to-end encryption for paying customers only, the video meetings specialist met a firestorm of criticism. The controversy lasted about two weeks, and Zoom has now decided to provide end-to-end encryption for all types of meetings, whether or not they are hosted by a paying customer.

Zoom didn't beat around the bush regarding the inspiration for the expanded encryption policy.

"Since releasing the draft design of Zoom's end-to-end encryption (E2EE) on May 22, we have engaged with civil liberties organizations, our CISO council, child safety advocates, encryption experts, government representatives, our own users, and others to gather their feedback on this feature," the announcement stated.
