Yet another article on China's use of technology for mass surveillance, this time exposed to view by accident. So via The Soufan Group's briefing and BLUF:
  • A Dutch cybersecurity researcher reported that Chinese company SenseNets exposed millions of people’s facial recognition information.
  • China has used facial recognition to target Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region.
  • Venezuela is also adopting an identification card system similar to the Chinese model to track and collect information about their citizens.
  • Personal information collected by states and their corporate partners is valuable to criminals and its exposure could place citizens at greater risk.

There is a wider application of this technology.
