Not defending zoom here -- they done fucked up -- but there is a huge disconnect between the marketing folks and the technical folks. It's possible that E2E Encryption was something they planned on implementing but haven't, and the marketing department either didn't get the memo or didn't understand and still kept the wording.

If marketing misuses a term on the website because they didn't understand what it meant, that's their fault. If they listed a feature that hasn't yet shipped, that's their fault.
It's natural that there is a divide and marketing isn't expected to understand every engineering thing (nor the other way around.) If your job is to write words, though, you are responsible for the words you right.
you are responsible for the words you right.
Wait, did you do that on purpose? :)

That's not an excuse. Sooner or later it'll become a faux pas to mis-use basic security terminology. Obviously most of the public doesn't care about most of the terminology. But "end to end" has been trending for a decade at least.

For how long do we let them slide before the FTC steps in?

I don't believe that's a thing. Thing like this will run over a lawyer's desk to make sure they're covered and won't get sued for billions of dollars, and they will make sure that it's legally sound, so they will check whether they have it, and they won't rely on "it's a planned feature maybe some day we will have it".
