“Millions of Americans continue to use Zoom’s platform with the expectation that their conversations will be kept private and secure,” said Mark Molumphy, an attorney representing Zoom users in the case. Plaintiffs in the case said Zoom improperly shared data with third-party software from companies including Facebook and Google claimed to have end-to-end encryption when it did not and failed to prevent Zoombombing - disruptions of Zoom meetings by outsiders - among other allegations, according to court documents. The agreement was initially filed in July and received preliminary approval in October. District Court in the Northern District of California granted final approval of the settlement agreement Thursday. Zoom Video Communications Inc., owner of the popular meeting application that has risen to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, will pay $85 million to users and implement changes to its business as part of a class action settlement tied to multiple “ Zoombombing” incidents - including one in which pornography was streamed into a Bible study class.
