#TikTok Browser Can Track Users’ Keystrokes, According to New Research
// The web browser used within the TikTok app can track every keystroke made by its users, according to new research that is surfacing as the Chinese-owned video app grapples with U.S. lawmakers’ concerns over its data practices.
The research from Felix Krause, a privacy researcher and former Google engineer, did not show how TikTok used the capability, which is embedded within the in-app browser that pops up when someone clicks an outside link. But Mr. Krause said the development was concerning because it showed TikTok had built in functionality to track users’ online habits if it chose to do so.
Collecting information on what people type on their phones while visiting outside websites, which can reveal credit card numbers and passwords, is often a feature of malware and other hacking tools. While major technology companies might use such trackers as they test new software, it is not common for them to release a major commercial app with the feature, whether or not it is enabled, researchers said. //

Surveillance for All: China Pushes for Permanent Health Code by 2025
Although the #WHO had clearly stated that there had been a drastic 90% decrease in COVID deaths across the world, China had not embraced this optimistic view. Instead, it has declared a goal of making the Health QR Code mandatory for everyone in the country by 2025, enforcing a long-term, real-time surveillance for its citizens.
On Nov 9, The National Health Commission of China announced on its website that by 2025, every Chinese citizen will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code. The announcement is jointly published by the National Health Commission, State Administration of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the announcement, the health code systems currently in use are run by each province separately, and the systems from different provinces do not generally recognize each other's codes. In response, the central government aims to create a basic, inter-connected surveillance platform by 2025, in which each resident will have a dynamically-managed electronic health file and a fully-functional electronic health code.
With such a system in place, the Chinese government will be able to leverage big data to trace the so-called "high-risk individuals", establishing a long-term, real-time surveillance and control of the Chinese populace.

China Establishes Bureau to Take "Special Care" of High Net Worth Individuals
China has established a new bureau to oversee citizens with over $10 million in their bank accounts, Asia Finance reports.
The "High-Net-Worth Individuals Management Bureau" will build up a database of taxpayer profiles using their electronic records. Citizens moving out of China are also targeted for further scrutiny, to ensure that they fully pay the requisite taxes for cancelling their household registration before leaving the country.
The bureau will enact a four-pronged approach to take "special care" of these high-net-worth individuals: to strengthen surveillance on non-taxable businesses, information sharing, verification, and "cloud-ification". New departments will be created to enable information exchange with the People's Bank of China, as well as verifying these individuals mobile phones and various registrations.
This is seen as the first policy enacted since President Xi Jinping's proposal for "common prosperity" in the National People's Congress earlier this year. To support these changes, the tax department plans to hire an additional 25,000 staff, accounting for 67% of new hiring this year, an increase of 3.3% from last year.
These increases in government spending and surveillance imply that the rich in China will need to pay an increasingly higher price if they wish to move their money overseas.
