Is a shiny polished product worth risking your companies valuable IP, given Zoom has lied about using end-to-end encryption and has routed American communications through China in the past?

This is straight out of the CCP's playbook, and Zoom is far from being outside of the CCP's influence.

The CEO is an American citizen.

He is probably more loyal and patriotic to the country than you are. And I’m sure he creates and provides more jobs to Americans than you do.

If you have evidence that he is doing something illegal, then present it. Otherwise, you are just fear mongering.

And realize that coordinating with a foreign government is a criminal offense. I highly doubt he is interested in such activity.

Just so that he can snoop on your scrum meeting or fake agile process? That’s just nonsense.

Zuck and Brin and Bezos and Gates, has more details about your personal life than you can imagine. And none of that data is encrypted. It’s all just sitting there on their servers just waiting to be harvested. When was the last time you complained about these companies?

But hey, it’s a free country. If you don’t want to use it, then don’t use it. No one is forcing you. You can even demand a boycott if your own company uses the product.

And to be honest, I don’t even use it outside of business. Treat it as a public medium, where all communications may be monitored. I’m more concerned about my employer monitoring me, than I am about some foreign boogeyman on the other side of the planet, listening to my boring scrum meetings.

Funny how Zoom was suddenly under investigation when their stock price shot up
