It's sad how badly people react to very sensible data protection measures. I hope the Jitsi servers could be upgraded to handle the traffic.
Meanwhile my country decided it was a good idea to force Teams upon all students from primary to high school. I really don't know what I would have done had I still been in school, but I feel like temporarily dropping out would have been on the table.
Well, many of my professors opted for Zoom (we also all got accounts assigned automatically, I agree that that is very questionable under GDPR) and it might be just as bad as Teams. But at least Zoom accounts aren't also linked to a thousand other services so I somehow managed to swallow that pill.
I will never understand how nonchalantly private information gets outsourced to the US without anyone questioning it. But complaining about it too much is bad for my health so I will also stop this rant again :)
