Zoom to pay $85 million in settlements for false encryption claims, sharing user data with Facebook and Google

Video teleconferencing service Zoom has agreed to pay $85 million as a settlement to a lawsuit that blamed the company for sharing its user data with the likes of Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. The new settlement follows Zoom’s earlier settlement with Federal Trade Commission wherein the company agreed to the security improvements. Zoom has also been blamed for sharing user data with other tech majors like Facebook and Google, despite its promise of not selling user data to third parties. The lawsuit highlighted that Zoom used Facebook SDK and similar software development kits from other vendors that enabled the data transfer.
