Also, Zoom's entire engineering team is based in China [1]. China and Chinese companies have no real culture of user centric privacy.

Edit: Why downvote me? I am not trying to stir up flame wars. Saying anything against China has become impossible to do on HN. Voices get drowned despite of raising real legitimate concerns about privacy, especially for a tool used by millions all of a sudden during this pandemic. People should be speaking up on HN. I know, I am not supposed to complain about downvotes on HN, I've read the guidelines.

Edit2: Not able to find the source for Tianjin datacenter, I will reply if I can find it. Please take it with a grain of salt.

Edit3: Holyshit, so much attention on my comment. Redacting unsubstantiated claims and adding more sources that can be traced on the wikipedia section of Zoom privacy criticisms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_Video_Communications#Crit...
