Governments deal with inferior products all the time. At least in this case, there's a good reason to do so. The security of court systems would surely be higher priority than "my grandma couldn't install Jitsi" if they were pushed to choose.
- skinnymuch 6y agoOutside of court systems and some or a lot of government stuff, what use is there for inferior products vs Zoom? I don’t think China or whoever else is the boogeyman right now is going to care what mid level execs at most companies are talking about.
- themacguffinman 6y agoNot sure why you're implying that security in the private sector is useless. China has been known to hack and infiltrate private companies. Fun fact: this is why Google left China in the first place. You think China doesn't care what employees are discussing at Intel or AMD? You think they're not interested in worming their way into Apple's messaging systems to identify and monitor dissidents? You think the backdoors that Zoom are likely creating for the Chinese government won't ever be found and used by malicious hackers? You really think the Chinese-American human rights activists whose Zoom accounts were identified and banned from a private video call with Chinese-based allies and friends and family are thinking "what use is there for inferior products?" Oh well, we live in free countries. You're free to open your company and possibly your Chinese colleagues/friends to China or whoever else is the boogeyman right now.
