> When Zoom is requested to send over names and videos of political dissidents to authoritarian leaders will they comply? No, the CCP will just get the UN (according to Humans Right Lawyer at the UN) to do it for them: https://thehumanoid.net/un-whistleblower-emma-reilly-un-human-rights-council-china-emails-dissidents-uighurs-tibet-xinjiang-unhrc/ https://thehumanoid.net/un-whistleblower-emma-reilly-un-huma... Cool handle, I wished more people would just stop using propriety closed source software, we can at least try and make inroads that way. Because realistically no fledgling startup going after marketshare is going to realistically turn down CCP money, and will accept what ever they have to gain access to China and this is why its so dangerous why they have infiltrated this space as this is just one example of so many violations due to it. God only knows what all of those facial recognition companies with CCP blessing have done.

I'm very suspicious of this article. I've watched a decent bit of the interview, and I'm concerned about the lack of verification that she is in fact a UN employee as she claims, and the absence of any incriminating emails she mentions in the interview. Quick edit: It just occurred to me to search for other articles by the whistleblower's name. I still don't see any evidence so I am skeptical, but anyone else reading should have the chance to judge for themselves. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1292510/un-human-rights-council-emails-sent-to-china-dissident-Uighur-Tibet-hong-kong-Gao-Zhisheng https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1292510/un-human-rights... https://www.foxnews.com/world/un-human-rights-office-china-dissidents https://www.foxnews.com/world/un-human-rights-office-china-d...

  Interesting, I havevn't followed up on it, but the UN recently did come out to deny these claims in a recent press conference, which didn't deny she was an employee there. But you're right details are not easy to self-verify; but given what the CCP has done and continue to do with the WHO is it really all that far-fetched to see they paid off a bunch if UN members to pass them information. Consider how the US needed operatives/assets inside the Iranian nuclear program to deploy what eventually would become Stuxnet-gate.

    You're right, and that detail about the UN not denying it (but her claims) makes me a lot less skeptical. Either way I'm very skeptical of the Chinese government w/r/t human rights and I appreciate you drawing attention to it.
