We evidently also had an incident with a panel we were on (a SXSW virtual panel) where some neo-nazis were hating on the tribal communities we work with.

<p class="MsoNormal">I just found this out, and find it disgusting that people are using on-line sessions - for all our organizations -as a place to spread hate, nastiness, and frankly content that is criminal (in the case of your incident)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I actually took to Twitter after the incident happened, and Zoom almost immediately responded. They are now investigating the incident, and it's not just the group I was part of. It happened to, for instance, an OpenRightsGroup meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I understand your point, especially in places where the government actively works to disrupt activism and dissent. It's a good reminder that in such situations, it's difficult to know whom to turn to. It's also why having such a strong
and supportive civil society network is so vital.<o:p></o:p></p>

might be a law enforcement official or other government agent who might be waging an official war and Zoom might do little more than blocking/blacklisting. We know how governments are increasingly spying the online space for persons, groups and activities
they perceive as anti-government.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
