Zoom Shared US User Data with Beijing

Careful about this source.

NTD is a part of the media empire of Falun Gong and related exile Chinese alt-right groups in the US.

I would not count them as trustworthy at all.

That’s a different story and set of circumstances than the title article.

How so? Both articles talk about the same incident, and the washington post says it comes from unsealed FBI complaint. If US users talked on Zoom about Tiananmen square and Zoom terminated the meeting and gave Chinese government the usernames, that to me qualifies as "Zoom shared US User Data with Beijing"

They are also a highly suspect source also associated with Falun Gong.

Yeah, when I linked it I was unaware of the associations of the two websites. I have since educated myself on the matter and agree that trusting this article isn't the best idea, and that the [flag] was justified.

With China, ANY source is more trustworthy than Chinese state media and its affiliates. It may be Falun Gong but at least it’s not the Ministry of State Security.
