Zoom says end-to-end encryption will be available to both free and paid users in major U-turn

Zoom has said it will give all users of its video calling platform end-to-end encryption, starting with a beta test next month. The company wrote in a blog post that free and paid users will have access to the feature. Recently, Zoom had been criticised for its lack of end-to-end encryption. Zoom then announced it would roll out the feature – but only to people with paying accounts. CEO Eric Yuan had said that the decision was so Zoom could allow law enforcement access to its calls.
