Zoom Conferencing

[Harold Hartley]

I've always said I would never use zoom for security reasons.

But I read an article that a Chinese American was on zoom and wanted to 
hold a candle vigil for those lost at tennamen square and ended up being 
locked out of zoom.

The reason was is any user using zoom has to follow Chinese local laws 
since zoom is owned by the Chinese. So any info used on zoom is 
collected by the Chinese because its going through the great firewall in 
China.
