While there is no proof about this, it could happen. Even if the emails are filtered by employees, it could have made its way to the CEO, after all, their platform was at the center of keeping a world wide cult afloat. That in itself is impressive.
Just wanting confirmation on an unofficial JW experience

To add to my comment, technically, this is quite impressive. Just like their litteratures being translated into soo many languages. However, technical achievements do not translate to being good. Technology is blind to morality, good vs bad. The nazis were very advanced with their rockets and industrial process and their u boats. While they were braging about all that, it didn't make them moral. -

Narcissists. They think their delusion is the center of everything going on in the world. Everyone either loves or hates them, meanwhile few actually care about them on any level. But they're the heroes of their own fantasy lives, and that's enough for them.
😂😂😂 I think you've summed it all up pretty good there Dubstepped

WT has nothing but bullshit to sale and sells it well.

I can confirm this is also circulating outside the United States.
A sister in Brooklyn, while doing zoom witnessing with her congregation, decided to write a letter to Zoom to thank them for how they have helped us all through this quarantine. So she looked for an email and saw that the customer service email comes with a statement that due to high volume of requests, no one is able to read the emails. She wanted a human to read her letter so she decided to find the CEO's email address. It was hard work, and she kept looking on different websites without giving up and found it. She emailed him (the letter was beautiful!) a loving letter, thanking him, identifying herself as a JW, telling him how it has helped us remain encouraged and united and helped us continue our preaching and teaching work and she thanked him for keeping the basic 40minute plan free and how this was so different than other corporate greed that is seen in the world today. Under her signature she referred him to jw.org Then she took the time and translated it into Spanish and sent both versions to the CEO.
30 minutes later, she was out walking her dog, and the CEO wrote her back personally! He thanked her for her kind letter and how much he appreciated her taking the time to write him and how happy he was that Zoom was able to help keep so many people connected and encouraged. She was so happy, she didn't know what to do, and looked up at the sky and said a prayer of thanks to Jehovah. A few minutes later, she received another email. This was from a Brother who works at zoom, who had been hired when the company first started up. He said the CEO had forwarded her emails to all 2000 US Employees!!! What a fine witness this young sister gave to so many people!
While there may be a few small embellishments that got tacked on in the telling, the substance of the email could quite well be true. joe134cd, if your father circulates this to others it would not make him look foolish except to those prone to ridicule.

If its true they will yammer on and on about it at the convention program.
Also, how did the "brother" who works for zoom get her email address?
Did the CEO forward her personal info to all 2000 employees?

Could it be true? Yes.
Is it? Not likely.
Let's see a copy of the internal memo as proof.
The vast majority of these "experiences" are made up or, if "based on a true story" have been embellished so as to have little connection to the actual events which inspired them.
Let's review: It's a cult!

Do JWs make up a significant proportion of Zoom usage in the current situation? I think they probably do.
On the one hand there are a lot of different organisations using Zoom, so JWs are just one organisation among many.
On the other hand there are 120,000 JW congregations worldwide. If something in the region of half of those congregations (who knows? possibly an underestimate) are now using Zoom regularly (up to 10 times a week, per congregation, including smaller groups for “field service”), then that’s a huge number of Zoom meetings!
So it seems credible that JWs should be on the radar of Zoom management as a significant customer for their product. It’s also credible that a sister would write a letter to Zoom along these lines, because JWs are busy writing letters to anyone they can think of right now, to count as “field service”.
So altogether it does seem credible that a sister would write a letter, and that management at Zoom would recognise JWs as a major customer and make some kind of response to the letter. The details of the response the Zoom manager made may have been exaggerated in the retelling.

JOE134CD:
I remember all those JW urban legends. The religion was filled with them.
I never paid them any heed - along with the stories related at circuit assemblies where young people related stories of giving up college scholarships and well-paying jobs so they could pioneer. 🙄
What nobody ever heard about were stories where they were broke a few years later and had to enter the workforce.

Zoom has more than 12M paying customers and 300M free subscribers. A few thousand JW’s logging onto their free version once a week does not even tick on their radar, especially since they have emphatically stated they don’t want the congregations to pay for these services.
