Simple rule to go by "follow the money" where ever the central servers, office HQ, that's the laws they will follow. Same goes for apps like zoom. They're China owned and because of the local laws report all data information to China. You are WILLINGLY giving the enemy everything about you. Once the app is on your phone, PC, or other device it begins to data mine. It maybe seen as a "Great recruiting tool" as I've heard here so many times, and that may be true. But to open up your device directly to the CCP, I'll pass. Let me ask you this? How do you unlock your phone? Fingerprints, eyes, facial recognition? All data, all store on your device and prime for data harvesters. All food for thought, but this is why I would never use any of those apps let alone click on a link to even launch in my browser.
