Zoom is chasing those CCP Yuan.

The CCP hates it when the west reminds the world how the CCP massacred hundreds or maybe even thousands of peaceful student protestors at Tienanmen square in 1989.
Massacres like that are why people get nervous when Trump used the military to violently clear out peaceful protestors so he could hold a bible upside down in front of a church.

Many enterprises are already using zoom conferencing and many are planning to move to zoom. So they will either need to start looking at alternatives asap, or wait for an outright ban on zoom and than scramble for an alternative.

Zoom is not the only one. Youtube, Apple, and Google are also censoring CCP-critical content -- yep, the same big tech companies that are so hot on censoring Trump. I need to buy a hat: Make Speech Free Again!

The use of ZOOM is an obvious security issue.

Ever wondered why the West doesn't remind itself of countless victims of illegal Iraq war or countless other wars?

The people in the west don’t need to be reminded about it-they know or can easily find out unlike the billion Chinese that haVe no idea that the CCP murdered 45,000,000 million people in the ‘Great Leap Backward’ !

Zoom needs to explain why this happened.
The political views of the founders should not impact a service provided in the free world.
Otherwise they are no better than the Trump corporation with its history of racism!!

45,000,000 million people? That's a lot of people when the total population of the world is 7,800 million today.
All jokes aside, you have made what seems like a fair point. I've also thought about that in the past. However, please consider the following.
Do you believe that Western countries care more about the Chinese people than the Chinese government? Tens of millions of Chinese people are traveling in an out of China every year. Huge number of foreigners live and work in China. How stupid and or ignorant do you think Chinese would have to be to not know what happened. How can we verify that 45 million number?ClippetyClop
Trump hasn't been censored at all, he has just been checked, weighed, measured, and found to be a complete liar whenever he opens his mouth. Stick to your global MSM bootlicking TV if you prefer to be lied to again and again, because outside of that people have genuine questions about his useless leadership.

By adding ridiculous "fact checking" by the fake media and constantly discussing if they should outright ban him. And by massive shadowbanning, unsubscribing, demonatizing and outright shutting off Trump supporters and other critics of the woke agenda.
If you are unaware of that, you are just demonstrating that you never look outside your bubble.
WilliB
Upside down world. As I said, if you equal CNN opinions with "facts", you are firmly stuck in the fake media bubble.

You seem to live in a world where everyone who disagrees with you is parroting CNN.
Don’t project your own parroting onto others. Get this CNN monkey off your back.
Strangerland
CNN is just another of the right’s boogiemen. They invoke it so as to sidestep actual discussion on an issue. It’s socially irresponsible.

Another American tech company selling out to Socialists/Communists.

Comments like this are why we cannot have nice things. No comparison between Tiananmen and the National Guard. No active duty troops were every activated by Trump during the riots over the past two weeks.

He only cleared our non-violent protestors with tear gas so he could show a bible upside down in front of a church.
And tell me that’s not something the Chinese would do.

Eric Yuan, the founder of Zoom was born in China.
Zoom might be HQ’d in the US but I won’t use the app due to the amount of data that Zoom allows to be routed to Chinese data centers...
