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.
