The first legal response to Zoom’s questionable data practices was from New York’s Attorney General Letitia James. Upon this revelation, Zoom quickly removed this data-sharing feature, but legal action soon followed. While sharing user analytics across platforms is not uncommon, Zoom failed to disclose this practice in its privacy policy. In late March, it was discovered that Zoom was sharing user data with Facebook through its iOS app, even if the user did not have a Facebook account.
