Users notice that Zoom changes privacy policy to expressly allow them to use your private Zoom chats, video calls and other services to train A.I. and this IS NO OPT OUT.

Zoom has already backtracked on this. This article even points out that it is opt out, provided after they received huge backlash.

Doesn't make what they did right, but please read the article before you post saying the opposite of what the article says.

The ethically correct way to use data collection is to the contract being explicitly opt-IN though. Zoom is providing the barest of minimums

I absolutely agree with you, I dislike the way they are going about it completely.

I don't use zoom, and probably never will, but as article points out, this is not a new concept, it happens every day.

Without federal protections this is and will be our future and our rights will continuously be eroded away. Humans are income streams that are going to be exploited at every opportunity.

Zoom had already started weaseling around on this.
