🔓 Real-Life Incident: Zoom's Data Sharing Controversy (2020)

During the pandemic, millions trusted Zoom for work, school, and family calls.
But in 2020, it was revealed that Zoom was secretly sharing user data with Facebook, even if you didn't have a Facebook account.

This meant your device details, usage patterns, and app activity could be tracked and monetised without your knowledge.

How to stay safe:

📑 Always review the privacy policy before adopting a new tool
🛡️ Use privacy-focused alternatives that don't rely on data-sharing models
⚙️ Regularly audit app permissions on your devices

🚨 Keep software updated. Companies often patch privacy loopholes only after being caught

Convenience shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy.
