• Re: Zoom or Jitsi anyone?

    Hi August,

    On 2020-04-10 13:18:00, you wrote to me:

    It does boast "private" sessions.. but that is not the same as
    encrypted or truly private.

    Someone said you should regard the "private" video conferences you have: as a loud conversation in a public place. If you don't mind that, you could use Zoom.

    Zoom seems to cater to the "if it's free, it can't hurt (I have
    nothing to hide), and it's fun!" mentality (aka, the mezmerized
    uneducated minions).

    Maybe the stupid should be protected against the devious?

    OTOH, https://jitsi.org/ promises privacy. It might the better
    choice if anyone cares about privacy.

    Jitsi was sort of recommended by a Dutch privacy organisation, as being the least bad choice privacy wise. Given the small amount of time they could spend on investigating the alternatives for Zoom.

    Bye, Wilfred.
