<pre class="moz-quote-pre">For something befitting the education of technically capable people, one thing is to reject Zoom.
Zoom is unjust, because it requires users to run nonfree programs, mistreating and limiting users.
Zoom lied to users for years about its software's encryption capability and security. It also
installed malware to override security features of some browsers.
Besides sending personal data straight te Facebook, Zoom enforces Chinese censorship against
those who voice its murderous repression of protests.
Please rethink that !</pre>

<p>Subject to the laws of libel, you are, of course, free to express your opinions on any subject under the sun. However, "technically capable people", as you refer to them, will be very familiar with the concept of references. May I therefore respectfully suggest that if you wish your views to be taken seriously, rather than just more misguided "proprietary software is evil" propaganda, you back up each of your assertions with a reference to a reliable and reputable source, the authority of which is beyond all reasonable doubt?</p>

<p>Would you have required reference from authority source to the Jews you found as you entered the extermination</p>
<p>camps in <span class="js-about-item-abstr">German-occupied Europe. </span>Or reference from the people who sufferred frem the Soviet Gulag System. </p>
<p>Go wave your libel threats somewhere else. The person who is misguided or manipulative is yourself, Mr. Taylor.</p>
