What are the chances these orders to co-opt people in China to do this is coming straight from the top of the CCP? There is a school of thought that provides a lot of analysis and evidence that the acceleration of the Holocaust was a bottom-up phenomenon (not a master plan made by Hitler years before). Hitler might have laid out details to exile the Jews, but there was no evidence he gave a direct order to begin full…

> What are the chances...

A what point does the effort necessary to compute these odds become an exercise in apology and where does the need to exonerate CCP leaders come from? We do not hesitate to attribute the fall of every sparrow to Trump's incitement of his racist supporters, yet somehow we mustn't permit the attribution of the crimes of CCP's many minions rise to any meaningful height in the party.

What other platforms compete with Zoom with comparable API integrations? We need features including: OAuth, Meeting scheduling, meeting link generation (without requiring user accounts), managing recordings, meeting status webhooks, etc. https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api

Jitsi- use it, love it, host my own instance. Only downside is the api’s are a bit cumbersome using prosody. https://github.com/jitsi

Prosody dev here, feedback welcome :)

You can email us any time at developers@prosody.im and community venues are listed here: https://prosody.im/discuss

There's even an FBI wanted poster for this executive: https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/counterintelligence/xinjiang-jin/...

Where did they get these pictures? They look like mugshots but he's not in custody.

Turkey takes photos of everyone who enters or leaves the country. May be it is practiced in USA too.

It all new, Zoom actually is one of the pioneers.

What was new?

Time to to WOW. Using zoom for the first time, launching an instance on Digital Ocean. It's common now but at the time it was unheard of.

It's newsworthy that PRC is recruiting Chinese citizens in executive positions of American companies to pursue the intelligence interests of the CCP by disenfranchising Americans of their constitutional rights and in willful violation of American law.

Yeah. Some of these people need to be made an example of. China's been using their consumer market allure as an aegis behind which to advance their interests and project censorship abroad.

I hope wrong people are not targeted. It's the C CP that needs to be pushed back.

Framing was a mean, the goal was to disrupt meetings.

Complaint-bombing has become a popular technique to silence opinions on public platforms.

The real issue is how such a fundamentally important thing - video communications - isn't rock solid and a commodity by now such that any of FAANG, Verizon/AT&T and a host of others don't provide it as easy as anything else. Imagine if you thought CCP were reading your emails? Would your company/school/government use that service? I don't think so. Having supply chain problems for ASICS is one thing. But 'video confe…

Most of the "FAANG" companies do already have video conferencing apps. Netflix being the notable exception, but they're only included in the group for the sake of an edgy acronym anyway.

FB uses BlueJeans as per my knowledge.
