> Is there any reason not to assume that the Chinese government is surveilling Zoom calls en masse?

Why does this event move the needle one way or another? The group had a paid account so Zoom knows who they are, and this was a publicized event. All the Chinese government needed to know was an event they don't like was happening, with the services of a company they can exercise soft power over.



That's weird use of the term "soft power".


Presumably several voice messages were left before they broke out the rubber hoses and jumper cables.
