China doesn't have any concerns about wasting resources. They have more than enough to spare. Vacuuming up any sort of mundane daily task people do is good data to feed into some AI that can easily distinguish fluff conversations from useful interactions worth investigating.
Not sure what your interest is in this, but I was responding to his not caring if China harvests his data. I didn't make claims about Zoom sending the data to China, but I've seen other people make comments around the internet that Zoom is sending the data to China, and they promptly get flooded with comments tearing them apart for having suspicions.
But you made me look into this. Apparently Zoom does "accidentally" (accidents like this don't really happen) send data to China. [1] It's very normal for companies to completely divide up their Chinese servers and non-Chinese servers, so the rerouting makes me suspicious.
