Ohio congressman Jim Jordan has called for an end to Zoom video conference meetings citing potential security concerns.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee, of which Mr Jordan is the top Republican member, has been conducting business using the remote meeting software to comply with social distancing rules to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
In a letter to the committee chairwoman, New York representative Carolyn Maloney, Mr Jordan said that Zoom did not appear to meet required security standards and has concerns about Chinas involvement with the company.
He claimed that a recent briefing on women's rights in Afghanistan was repeatedly Zoom-bombed, a term for when uninvited individuals disrupt meetings.

One suspects the chief difference between him and the doctor whose predations he facilitated is that the doctor in question had the nerve to act on his imaginings, whereas Jordan is a cowardly failure even as a pervert.
And yes, Ma'am, this is an ad hominem that has not the least bearing on his complaint or advice regarding some video conferencing platform....

(95,252 posts)I have seen survey information suggesting that the 'redder' the state, not only the greater is its inhabitant's consumption of pornography, but the more that outre letches figure as a portion of their total consumption of pornography.
If I were being fair-minded, I might suggest this is because open expression of alternate sexualities is more restricted in such states, but I am not feeling particularly fair-minded at the moment, and so will happily assert this proves the fine upstanding pillars of morality and rectitude in 'real America' are to a man double-dyed and double-damned hypocritical perverts.
