Zoom confirmed that it suspended the account of Humanitarian China to 'comply with local law,' prompting accusations that the firm, which is based in the U.S., has bowed to pressure from Beijing.

The account that hosted the event was shut down on June 7, according to Zhou Fengsuo, who founded Humanitarian China and took part in the 1989 protests as a student. The account has since been reinstated."When a meeting is held across different countries, the participants within those countries are required to comply with their respective local laws," Zoom said in a statement to various media outlets.
"It seems possible ZOOM acted on pressure from the CCP to shut down our account. If so, ZOOM is complicit in erasing the memories of the Tiananmen Massacre in collaboration with an authoritarian government," Zhou said in a statement.
