\n Zoom suspended a US-based Chinese activist group\u2019s account after it held an online event commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre.<\/p>\n

Humanitarian China said it discovered Zoom had shut down its account on Sunday, about a week after its May 31 event marking the 31st anniversary of China\u2019s violent crackdown on pro-democracy protests.<\/p>\n

The conference had more than 250 participants \u2014 including many in China \u2014 and featured several speakers including the Tiananmen Mothers, an activist group of relatives of people killed in the 1989 massacre, Humanitarian China said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems possible Zoom acted on pressure from the CCP to shut down our account,\u201d the group said in a statement, referring to the Chinese Communist Party. \u201cIf so, Zoom is complicit in erasing the memories of the Tiananmen Massacre in collaboration with an authoritarian government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tiananmen crackdown remains a sensitive and taboo subject in China, and online information about the action is heavily censored there.<\/p>\n

Zoom confirmed that it suspended Humanitarian China\u2019s account but said it has been reactivated. The videoconferencing giant cited concerns about following local laws given that the event hosted participants from multiple countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a meeting is held across different countries, the participants within those countries are required to comply with their respective local laws,\u201d Zoom said in a statement. \u201cWe aim to limit the actions we take to those necessary to comply with local law and continuously review and improve our process on these matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Humanitarian China founder Zhou Fengsuo said Zoom has not responded to the group\u2019s inquiries about the ordeal. \u201cWe still want to know why our account was closed,\u201d he said on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zoom has been working to address security problems on its platform amid a boom in business driven by the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced people around the world to hold work and social gatherings online.<\/p>\n

The US Department of Homeland Security has reportedly warned that Zoom\u2019s security flaws could make it vulnerable to spies in China and other countries. But Zoom strongly disputed the feds\u2019 analysis, calling it \u201cheavily misinformed\u201d and inaccurate.<\/p>\n
