Zoom

Zoom became hugely popular during the pandemic allowing people to stay connected. However, its rapid growth exposed privacy and security issues, including "Zoom bombing" where pranksters would join calls and stream inappropriate content. Additionally, Zoom was found to share some user data with Facebook without clear disclosures. This led to lawsuits and warnings from authorities about Zoom's security practices. Despite these issues, Zoom remains easy to use for hosting large virtual meetings and classroom sessions through its gallery view and default settings.
