Zorpia (Chinese: 若比鄰) is a social networking service with customers in China. Zorpia is one of the few international social networks with a Chinese Internet Content Provider license.[1][2] The social networking site reports 2 million unique users per month and a total worldwide user base of 26 million.[1][3] Jeffrey Ng is the company's founder and CEO of Zorpia. The privately funded company is based in Hong Kong and has 30 employees.[4]
Zorpia has been accused of spamming misleading messages on behalf of people to their address books without their consent or knowledge as a way of acquiring email addresses.[5] In 2012, PandoDaily wrote that Zorpia "has a dreadful spamming problem that it needs to fix fast."[6]
