Kinda funny that it's ok for zoom to become a platform for US to monitor it's own civilians but then complain that it's cooperating with Chinese law.
Seems to me senator wants zoom to pick sides alright, but it has nothing to do with values or principles
- thecureforzits 6y agoSpeaking as someone who isn't American or Chinese, is it too much to ask for both sides to stop spying on the rest of us?
- afrojack123 6y agoThis is too idealistic. It would never happen. You either build it yourself or choose your spy.
- duxup 6y agoI think there is a great deal more nuance than "ok to monitor".
- briefcomment 6y agoBut those are two different issues. One is about national security, and the other is about civil liberties. Sure it would be nice if both of those were strong, but the consequences of having compromised national security are more likely to result in wide scale disaster than this particular case of weakened civil liberties are. This is because we have some semblance of checks and balances within the country, but much less outside of it.
- sukilot 6y agoThe only function of national security is to preserve life, libery, and the pursuit of happines. it is not a goal in itself.
- briefcomment 6y agoRight, that is why I said bad national security can lead to wide scale disaster.
