People are expressing they will stop using Keybase because of this. That's fine, probably a good idea.
But reading this, Zoom+Keybase will make sure of this themselves. This press release indicates that this is a 100% acquihire. There's only talk about what the Keybase people will be tasked to do, and there isn't any talk about Keybase's services in the first place. There's no real reason Zoom would be interested in keeping Keybase's services up and running anyway.
Let's hope they make it a swift death. Shame about Keybase, loved using it so far. It's somewhat encouraging to see a change in direction for Zoom, too. Hope the acquihire works out.
