A few days ago, we heard from Zoom's security consultant Alex Stamos that the company plans to offer end-to-end encryption to its paying users. The company's CEO Eric Yuan confirmed this plan a few days later, but the way he worded the confirmation made it seem like it was to allow law enforcement to intercept video calls. A Twitter user then chastised him for using language that suggests he's "kowtowing to the police."
In the company's latest financial results announcement, Yuan said, "Free users, for sure, we don't want to give that [end-to-end encryption]. Because we also want to work it together with FBI and local law enforcement, in case some people use Zoom for bad purpose."
