The New York Attorney General has inquired about Zoom s data security strategy, as the conferencing platform comes under heavy scrutiny for its privacy policies. Almost 600,000 people downloaded the Zoom app on March 15, after social distancing orders were put in place. Zoom also removed a feature in its iOS app that was sharing analytics data with Facebook, after a report revealing the practice sparked outrage. The inquiry comes amidst mounting public scrutiny of Zoom’s data privacy and security policies. The potential security issues that Zoom’s facing are myriad, with numerous reports of threats of sexual harassment and pornographic images.
