Those politicians/military personnel also tend to have pretty strict protocols on how to handle classified information, deviation of which is already illegal. Most people with access to classified material like that can go to jail for putting their iPhone chargers into government computers, let alone talking about it over the internet on their home laptops. It’s not that it couldn’t happen, it’s that I can’t believe there are many people on the margin who know what end to end encryption is, need it, hear Zoom has it, and then decide to use Zoom instead of some other clearnet alternative that would have saved them.
I haven’t spoken about military people who do usually have strict protocols. The same doesn’t go for politicians.
I don’t think there’s a single congressman or congressional staffer that went to jail for discussing classified material on not encrypted channels.
Journalists would be another class of people who often would need good opsec but don’t really have it. There are likely plenty of newsrooms that are now discussing using Zoom and for them this is a good level to have those discussions.
