<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.<u></u><u></u></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.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
