Critics say UN is validating Chinese state surveillance by using Tencent Meeting to hold global discussions in celebration of UN's 75th anniversary
The United Nations' decision to host global discussions via Chinese tech giant's video service has raised concerns over privacy Tweets: @kennedycsis , @lokmantsui , and @yuanfenyang Tweets: Scott Kennedy / @kennedycsis : To accept Chinese surveillance or not, that is the question organizers of the UN's 75th anniversary event have to answer. By contracting w/ Tencent to host the online mtg, they've essentially said “yes.” https://www.ft.com/... via @financialtimes Lokman Tsui / @lokmantsui : NYC, Taiwan, Singapore, Google: we need to ban zoom because it is insecure. The UN: hold my beer. https://www.ft.com/... Yuan Yang / @yuanfenyang : While we're worrying about Zoom having sent data to China, spare a thought for the bigger privacy problems facing the UN's anniversary celebrations this year, which will be hosted by Tencent. Btw, WeChat data is decrypted at the server. By @suelinwong @ft https://www.ft.com/...
