No. I'm saying that Zoom, developed almost entirely inside China, is a nation state spying program. A company's legal jurisdiction does not absolve it of the influence of another nation.
If Zoom was developed entirely within the US and didn't lie about E2E encryption or route calls through China so they could be subject to surveillance I'd be more inclined to believe it was an American company with no CCP influence.
The founder's appearance is irrelevant, in this case Zoom is quacking like a duck on its own.
Just for argument's sake, if the founder was totally against CCP spying and would never knowingly engage in that behavior, it's still suspicious. That's because the CCP can apply pressure directly to engineers (remember, it's developed inside China).
Some of the most brilliant engineers I know are "Asian looking". I don't assume they are spies for that reason (and they're not in China, so aren't as subject to influence).
