And then in August, "We are now shifting to a partner-only model with Zoom technology embedded in partner offerings, which will provide better local support to users in Mainland China." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/zoom-ends-sales-to-customers-in-china/ar-BB17wfGb
Interesting bit: The U.S. company was founded by Eric Yuan, a Chinese immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, but its product development team is "largely" based in China, according to a regulatory filing.
Eric Yuan's come-up looks like a textbook Clown Op. His wikipedia is short, sweet and reeks of a bullshit story. Inspired by Bill Gates. Zoom went public in 2019. Too convenient. And now China is probably busy mining the entire world's data from zoom meetings, school, medical, you name it.
The whole world is also using Microsoft Teams that they just had ready to go for the scamdemic. My company has switched to Teams and I’ve gotta say it’s complete trash compared to Skype. Teams also gives the company full access to all chat records, so spying is 110% easier for the company. In the case of my company they have forced us to not talk to each other anymore by taking away our group chats where we could discuss anything, not just stuff related to our jobs.
We had full logs on Skype 4 Business too. If you work for a reasonable company, you shouldn't expect to be spied on. Unless you give a reason.
