Video-conferencing app Zoom confirmed Thursday that the Chinese regime demanded it suspend the accounts of several U.S. and Hong Kong-based Chinese activists who used the platform to hold events commemorating the 31st anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
In a public statement issued Thursday, the U.S.-based company admitted that it shut down three accounts—two in the United States and one in Hong Kong—after the Chinese regime notified them of four large public June 4th commemoration events, saying that participating in the events is considered “illegal in China.”
