I was invited by people from Shincheonji who claimed to be christians (later found that it was a cult) via zoom - to be parto fo zoom meetings, that in the zoom meetings we weren't allowed to chat with others via zoom, because the option to chat between each other was completely gone - all done by hacking the zoom app by their IT team. To chat between each other was disabled by them, intentionally so that no one might speak to each other and reveal who they are - A CULT.
How come ZOOM team is not helping in this process in putting strong tools that no IT team might crack it. Those chats are important on each meeting, just because if someone will research that the so called "church" is actually a cult, might actually worn others to get out of there on time. People who have been deceived in such way gave their entire lives to the cult, some even being suicidal at the end.
So why is it that ZOOM allowed it? What happened is that the option from Zoom to chat between each of the participants was completely shut down. So the only one whom we could chat to was the those who were in charge aka "teachers" "mentors". So my Qn is how come ZOOM allowed for IT teams to intervene in a such ways, that it actually manipulated the app in a such a way that it was disabled to chat between each other, or interact or even share phone numbers with other participants.
I would love for ZOOM to take action in making the tools and especially the chat more rigorously accessible for everyone who is in any meeting, to be able to chat with other people in the meeting, and not allow IT teams that are part of cults, to be able to manipulate the app in a such a way that make out of it a play game.
I have seen how they disable chats in the middle of the meeting, if they forgot to, their IT team was doing whatever they wanted, also they could manipulate other stuff, having PRO versions.
So pls ZOOM, do something!!
