About the Zoom post: yes, people should know these things in case they have a teacher who’s known to be invasive or unprofessional, but you can’t just throw panic-inducing things out there without explicitly stating all of the facts (e.g. it didn’t just appear overnight) or without offering solutions for people who can’t exactly change the situation (e.g. cover your camera with tape, keep your actual computer mic off, etc).
Even if OP didn’t intend to create panic, it will happen anyway. People will see that post and see implications that weren’t intended because it wasn’t clear enough. I don’t know about you, but I definitely saw panicking in the comments on that post.
