What "proven risk" is that?

I already answered that to a sibling post to yours 2 hours before your post.

No you didn’t. Because there are no proven risks. Videos of kids discussing math should have a security concerns near zero.

Oh my god, you really didn’t read my post did you? To repeat myself, the concern is that if they have this software already installed and know how to use it, and in fact have to use it and it is recommended to them, that they will then also use it for private chats with their friends. Thus exposing the private video chats of teenage children on a platform with many known trivial vulnerabilities. How anyone can’t see what a bad idea this is boggles the mind.
