Zoom to bring end-to-end encryption to all users, including non-paying

ignoring the quote for a second we know a few things about this CEO and zoom.

1. zoom's application is sending data to Chinese servers separate from the application functionality servers.

2. the CEO is from china, I'm going to assume he has relatives in china.

3. we know CCP is a completely fucked up government with an absolutely horrible history of civil rights violations, genocide, etc.

I wouldn't put it past CCP to be pressuring the CEO by threatening relatives who live in china. this wouldn't be unheard of for CCP.

add the the unnecessary data transfer to chinese servers makes it look really bad.

its a fairly reasonable conclusion to draw that the CEO is compromised if all the above holds true.

more extreme conclusions could just as easily be drawn from that same data that he is literally a foreign agent for china.

I find myself agreeing with most of your points. I mainly took issue with taking a shortcut from "being born and raised in China" to being a hostile Chinese agent (and we don't even know if the CEO has relatives in China that can be leveraged anyway).
