If you use Zoom you are connected to China!
In recent years Zoom has gained substantial market share in the United States — without much public awareness of its connection to China.
- Zoom maintains direct connections to the Internet Networks of the People's Republic of China (PRC) [as shown in peering record below].
- The large research and development deparment of Zoom Video Communications (700 employees) is based in the China (PRC). [1]
- Zoom illegally transferred users' information to the Chinese government (PRC). [1, 2, 3]
- In some cases the keys used for encrypting Zoom meetings were issued by servers located in Beijing. [1]
There are further troubling details:
- Zoom's advertised “end-to-end” encryption has been known to be applied only on the way to the server, not along the full path to other participants’ computers, which allowed Zoom to monitor client meetings. [1]
- Zoom requires download and installation of the desktop client for most features, which gives the software expanded access to your PC.
- Use of Zoom has been banned by entities such as NASA, Siemens and SpaceX, as well as the UK Ministry of Defence and the governments of Taiwan and Germany . [1, 2, 3]
