. @zoom_us, your actions are a dangerous attack on free speech and academic freedom, and an abuse of your contract with public university systems. Your status as an essential public service does not give you veto power over the content of the nation’s classrooms and public events.
We support the faculty at @uhmanoa and @nyuniversity who are facing censorship by @zoom_us for trying to engage in academic discussions about freedom for Palestine.
As NYU professor Andrew Ross says, universities are obliged to defend academic freedom from corporate censorship.

These webinar shutdowns are part of a longstanding targeted campaign against Palestine in the academy and Palestinian academics in particular, explains UMass Boston professor and @USACBI member Heike Schotten.
"Of course, we recognize that it is an act of sick comedy to censor an event about censorship, but it raises serious questions about the capacity of a corporate, third-party vendor to decide what is acceptable academic speech and what is not." - @AaupNyu http://web.nyu-aaup.org/
