Zoom, the popular video conferencing software, sold users data to Facebook and other companies. They are now being sued for it.
They outsource almost all their development to China.
SpaceX and others have banned the use of Zoom. https://sfist.com/2020/04/01/zoom-video-conferencing-hit-with-privacy-scandal/

Zoom also got caught routing calls through China, says it was another mistake. Encryption keys are also shared with China. https://www.businessinsider.com/china-zoom-data-2020-4
Zoom is also rife with security flaws. So much so that the FBI has issued guidance about the flaws.
These flaws are trivial to exploit for hackers, and therefore even easier to hack by governments hostile to the US. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/06/828087551/schools-ditch-zoom-amid-concerns-over-online-learning-security

Zoom keeps costs cheap by outsourcing nearly all of its software development to their China offices.
This is a problem. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/26/zoom-key-profit-driver-ahead-of-ipo-engineers-in-china.html

I cannot recommend Zoom for use by anyone. Anyone who regards privacy, values security of their PC, or works with student data, or corporate information, is highly vulnerable when installing Zoom.
The nature of Zoom also makes it a potential gold mine for China ip theft.

I’ve done tons of business with China in the past. What you hear is true. The Chinese government has ready access to your servers and its data. We encrypted everything.
Why is China’s CCP interested in tapping into, funding, or otherwise accessing popular software?
They want to datamine the US population like they do their own. And because of IP theft. It’s the best spy software because everyone willingly uses it.
China steals product designs.

Because I know China operates large social media bot networks to accuse people critical of CCP policy...
The bots always accuse people of being racist as their “goto” strategy for silencing anyone speaking out.
Therefore, you should know that I am Chinese myself.

During this Covid 19 Coronavirus pandemic, many companies and schools have turned to using Zoom to power remote work.
Don’t do this! Read my thread above and understand you are giving hackers and China a field day with your data and your video calls.
