Those "your computer has been hacked" calls arrive regardless of whether 
you've ever used zoom in your life or not. My parents get them. 
Everybody is succeptible to get them. They come from call centers in 
India (regardless of the number that appears if you have caller ID enabled).

Zoom is the only system I know that lets me select where my data at rest 
is... USA or EEA. I have selected EEA of course.

It's also the only one that lets me select which datacenters are used to 
cache meeting, in particular:

Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, 
Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, United States.

No system is perfect. They all have bugs. They all have some common 
feature sets... and some differentiating features. My employer uses 
Teams. This really sucks on Linux. Zoom works great on Windows, Linux, 
Android... which lets me do everything I need including some fancy 
recording and multi-screen features, and rooms with many users. It's 
used by open source working groups of the Linux Foundation (like Open 
Chain, FINOS)... If it has their blessing, I guess it's fine by me as well.
