Zoom video calling app exposing users to ‘Zoombombing’ that leads to online abuse

Firstpost  

In recent weeks, as schools, businesses, support groups and millions of individuals have adopted Zoom as a meeting platform in an increasingly remote world, reports of “Zoombombing” or “Zoom raiding” by uninvited participants have become frequent. “Zoom’s response was like, ‘We’re sorry,’ as if this only happened to me,” said Dennis Johnson, a doctoral candidate who complained to Zoom after his dissertation defense was disrupted by pornography and a racial slur. “Zoom strongly condemns harassment of this kind and we have been reporting instances of this to various social platforms in order for them to take appropriate action,” said Nate Johnson, a Zoom spokesman. It’s really stressful to keep up.” Some Instagram meme accounts, which typically share funny videos from TikTok, have also begun posting Zoom meeting information in order to boost engagement. “We go on our Story and post the info for the Zoom class,” said Aaliyah, 17, an administrator for several Instagram meme accounts.
