OneZe­ro:
"As a result, cre­ators who would ordi­nar­i­ly focus on news com­men­tary have shied away from cre­at­ing videos around coro­n­avirus.

Web­site traf­fic is surg­ing. But with adver­tis­ers adding coro­n­avirus-relat­ed key­words to their block lists and oth­ers paus­ing spend alto­geth­er, ad prices on news sites are low.

Zoom i problemer: "De skal se at vokse op"

Videokald-/konference-app'en Zoom har fået kri­tik efter, det kom frem, at en Face­book-inte­gra­tion sendte infor­ma­tion­er til Face­book, selvom brugeren ikke var logget ind. Zoom har siden fjer­net inte­gra­tio­nen, men skaden er sket. Ana­lytik­eren Ben Thomp­son skriv­er:

Strat­e­ch­ery:
"The exact same sort of speed that led to Zoom fix­ing this in 48 hours led to the com­pa­ny to make the mis­take of includ­ing Face­book Login in the first place, and, for that mat­ter, the local web­serv­er. The prob­lem, though, is that Zoom is now a pub­lic com­pa­ny with a $42 bil­lion mar­ket cap and a sky­rock­et­ing num­ber of enter­prise cus­tomers because of the coro­n­avirus. Zoom needs to grow up."

Det er så siden­hen kom­met frem, at det set ikke stop­per det. Eksem­pelvis lover Zoom, at videokaldene er krypteret "end-to-end" — det er de ikke.
