Taiwan’s government has banned all official use of video conferencing service Zoom amid mounting security concerns, marking the first time a government has imposed a formal action against the company.

In a statement published April 7, the Taiwanese government’s executive branch said that “If agencies must hold remote videoconferencing for business needs, they should not use products with security concerns such as Zoom,” and that “non-Chinese video software must be used.”
