    Default Orwell, digital prisons and the double-edged sword of surveillance

    Might as well start a thread on this before someone in the west gets the bright idea to add this to their Patriot Act toolkit.

    China is adding facial recognition to its overarching surveillance systems in Xinjiang, a Muslim-dominated region in the country's far west that critics claim is under abusive security controls. The geo-fencing tools alert authorities when targets venture beyond a designated 300-meter safe zone, according to an anonymous source who spoke to Bloomberg.

    Trust me, there'll be more to follow.
