It said it has now reinstated these accounts and will not allow further requests from China to affect users outside the country. “We did not provide any user information or meeting content to the Chinese government,” Zoom said in a statement. “Zoom compiled with China’s request, preventing us from going about our lives smoothly,” Wang said in an email to Reuters. US-based Humanitarian China founder Zhou Fengsuo said he welcomed Zoom’s acknowledgement of the suspensions but told Reuters it was unacceptable for the company “to separate China users from the rest of the world.” The company’s China links have been called into question before. Its founder Yuan grew up and attended university in China before migrating to the United States in the mid 1990s.
