The video chat platform Zoom has gained massive popularity during the pandemic, as many people started working remotely. At the same time, Zoom has been targeted over security issues. The Supreme Court recently asked the Centre to respond on a plea seeking a ban on Zoom. The petition alleged that the popular video conferencing app still has no “end-to-end encrypted calls and doesn’t run on a secure network”.

‘India significant chunk of Zoom’s growth, efforts on to address concerns’

In response to the notice, Zoom spokesperson said, the company “takes user privacy, security and trust extremely seriously. We have been focused on enhancing our commitment to security and privacy under our 90-day plan announced April 1, and have made significant progress.”

Whether you’re concerned about your online privacy or just want to avoid Zoom for some time until the matter is solved, there are ways to delete your Zoom account.
