Foreign Engineer Said the Official Software for #BeijingWinterOlympic Operates with Background Voice Recorder, Sending to China's Server
Some investigators find out by reverse engineering that "My 2022", a smartphone software for Beijing Winter Olympics, has a suspicion of sending users' voice recordings in the background.
The Chinese government requires all athletes, coaches and staff to download the application for health tracing. Users have to input personal details, such as passport information and health declaration form, 14 days before the arrival.
"My 2022" also provides functions for voice call, file transfer, and browsing news reports related Winter Olympics.
Jonathan Scott, one of the investigators, indicated that although "My 2022" operates in the background, the status will change from active to operating, in order to have the permission to monitor, and send all voice recordings to the servers in China.
However, Scott did not explain the principle behind and the app stores also claim "My 2022" not to collect users' data.

U.S. LGBTQ scholar denied visa to Hong Kong, possibly due to ties with Human Rights Watch

As there was no official explanation, Ryan Thoreson could not say whether it was because of his ties with Hong Kong Watch. "I don't think my studies have special criticisms on China as my main focus is on LGBTQ rights."
RFI said that the incident increased concerns about academic freedom in Hong Kong.
