I don't trust Zoom any farther than I can spit. Why should I? And yet, I use it all the time for my jobs. I have to. Same with Google. Our data is what they are milking us for.

I've been saying for a long time that it's insane that schools, indeed entire governments, are requiring children to use Google products. What do they think Google, or Zoom, or any other corporation, is doing with that data?

It's unforgivable. I get paid to use Zoom, so I use Zoom, but I use no social media for personal purposes. No FB, no Google, no Zoom, nothing.

I use protonmail for mail, duckduckgo for search, and I always use a VPN on everything. People are too trusting. You are not being paranoid.
