>  To be extended/revised

Privacy is a key value, and especially the lack thereof at the dominant extractivist platforms is a driver to build up meet.coop. In a public statement, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan \[shared] that “Zoom will work together with the FBI and local law enforcement, in case some people use Zoom for a bad purpose.” Micky Metts from Agaric \[asks us]: «Who determines the meaning of ‘bad purpose’?» How is privacy and anonymity dealt with at meet.coop?

* an incognito membership role exists that exposes only the user’s email address to the operational team
* participants to online meetings can choose whatever nick name they want to join a meeting and can participate in meetings without sharing their webcam or audio, through the room’s chat and shared notepad
* when a session host activates recording in their room, this is visible to participants
* there is no active collaboration with law enforcement and only under legal obligation there will be the minimum collaboration necessary to comply with the law
