If you use this as a company, you should assume that the CCP will have direct access to your confidential discussions and IP given their atrocious security record and extensive ties to China.
If ANY company has extensive ties to China, they are under full influence of the CCP. You literally cannot operate in China without this influence at any sort of scale.
Zoom is developed almost entirely in China. The CCP has policies that systematically steal intellectual property for use in Chinese companies. If they can intercept your IP, they'll steal it and give it to Chinese competitors.

- ta17711771 6y agoYour history leads the reader to believe you're being sarcastic. Yet, many entrepreneurs here have echoed the same sentiment over the years Consider that it's not a campaign.
- myopenid 6y agoHackernews is predominantly White/West, of course the sentiment leans in that direction. Anyway, everyone acts in their best interests.
- 0xy 6y agoChina's largest telecommunications company was indicted under RICO charges for systematically stealing US trade secrets and IP, and similarly the CCP has a long history of directly endorsing and supporting such behavior. By some estimates, they steal $600bn of US trade secrets on an annual basis. In fact, hackers associated with the CCP government have been detected hacking and stealing such materials on behalf of Chinese competitors. Why would anyone trust Zoom? Do you think the CCP has no influence on a company's technology being almost entirely developed in China?
- myopenid 6y agoWhat a load of horseshit.
- ta17711771 6y agoMaybe you should search "doing business in China" on this site to see people's experiences. West biased? Yes. Ignorant of truth/solely gov-based favoritism? No - I watch carefully for that, looking more to personal experience.
