      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zoom can be used to train AI</p>

<p>Looks like the new Zoom terms and conditions now allow training AI on user content with no opt out. 🤣  <a href="https://explore.zoom.us/en/terms/" rel="nofollow">See section 10.2</a></p>

<p>I am not too sure what data is shared, or how it is used, but big tech is clearly incapable of playing fairly,  we have companies using all uploaded data to train AI, for example photos, text, code anything and usually the consent is given via terms and conditions so end users are so tied in to closed systems, the users auto consent weather they like it or not.</p>

<p>The fact that zoom is used by organisation such as child protection agencies also for me <strong>RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS</strong>.</p>

<p>Please consider using an alternative that actually protects and respects privacy such as <a href="https://bigbluebutton.org/" rel="nofollow">Big Blue Button</a></p>
