In 2020 a rash of anti-zoom propaganda that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft led to a company-wide prohibition on using anything other than Teams "for security reasons" where i worked.

This was, I am almost certain, inspired by Microsoft corporate sales getting their hooks into management.

This was largely because of news stories like "end to end encryption doesnt really work as advertised" and "if you leave a room password unprotected bad people will enter". The level of press coverage was off the scale compared to what Teams got for far worse issues.

The vulnerabilities werent nothing but they werent even in the same ballpark as the MS teams vulnerabilities foisted on us for "security reasons" like this howler they tried to cover up https://www.techradar.com/news/microsoft-may-have-downplayed...
