Intercepting Zoom's encrypted data with BPF

What's the point of giving people rights when companies can just force you to relinquish them via contracts? That obviously leads to these "you can't exercise your rights" clauses becoming standard in every contract.

People should be able to do things that hurt a company's business interests, especially reverse engineering. They do not deserve any protection. Actually, it should be encouraged since it leads to better products for consumers.

When you sign a contract, very often you are waiving some of your rights. There are rights which cannot be waived by you—I’m not sure the right to reverse engineer is one of them

You never have to sign any TOS when reverse engineering, ergo no contract.

you probably sign TOS as part of the installation of the binaries
