Or avoid using Zoom until they've fixed their issues, and have at least some semblance of acting responsibly?

Yeah, it is odd that Zoom is even used in the title of the submission at all. Given the current zoom media storm, it is obvious clickbait since the actual linked site does not mention Zoom anywhere. A better title might be "Play Social Games Like Werewolf and Secret Hitler Remotely"
I'd say Jackbox.tv would be a good name drop instead of Zoom since they've popularized the "code sharing Gameroom website" technology.

Oh god, what if Chinese agents see my games? The horror!
It's quite obvious to me that they were advocating against promoting Zoom by using it in any manner. That is, playing tabletop games or otherwise.
I had a similar reaction when I read this thread's title: "I can't believe the frontpage was flooded with articles about Zoom being controversial privacy-wise a couple of days ago and now this pops up".

Correct. If you are playing battleship they will know you have your destroyer parked at E2.
Game over.
