Washington, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Republican Leader Greg Walden (R-OR) and Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) wrote to Zoom Video Communications, Inc. Founder and CEO Eric Yuan asking questions regarding the company’s data privacy practices and potential coordination with the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party.
This letter was sent in response to recent news that Zoom, a U.S. company, closed the account of a group of U.S.-based Chinese activists after an event commemorating the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, a pro-democracy movement.
“Zoom’s recent actions and acquiescence to China raise serious concerns about your data practices, including how you protect information you collect on Americans and, importantly, who you grant access to such information," the Committee leaders wrote.
