<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi. This is really interesting because, like you, I am very disturbed<br>by so many people jumping on the zoom train without caring about its<br>potential privacy problems. I would like to at least look at jitsi.<br><br>But, forgive me, your email reads a lot like an advertisement. Do<br>you have a relationship with the jitsi project? I think it would be<br>very helpful to clarify that, either way.
