As China Tracked Muslims, Alibaba Showed Customers How They Could, Too
As the Chinese government tracked and persecuted members of predominantly Muslim minority groups, the technology giant Alibaba taught its corporate customers how they could play a part.
Alibaba’s website for its cloud computing business showed how clients could use its software to detect the faces of Uighurs and other ethnic minorities within images and videos. The feature was built into Alibaba software that helps web platforms monitor digital content for material related to terrorism, pornography and other red-flag categories, the website said.
It could not be determined whether or how Alibaba’s clients had used the minority detection tool. But the potential for troubling use is high.

#Facebook: #ChineseHackers Attempt to Breach #Uyghurs Communication Devices for #Surveillance
Facebook reported that groups of Chinese hackers tried to set up fake accounts on Facebook in order to get in contact with Uyghurs overseas. After gaining their trust, they send their victims malicious links disguised as Uyghur news sites or online stores, in an attempt to install spyware on their phones for surveillance.
The report on the hacking activities was published on March 24, 2021 in which Facebook did not directly link the incident to the Chinese government, but said that the activity "had the hallmarks of a well-resourced and persistent operation". The hacking groups involved, known in the cybersecurity industry as Earth Empusa and Evil Eye, have also been involved in other surveillance activities in the past.
The hackers mainly target Uyghur human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents from Xinjiang. Most of them currently live in Turkey, Kazakhstan, the United States, Syria, Australia and Canada.

Suspecting EVERYONE is a sign of weakness. Surveilling everyone is a sign of fear! And #CCP is calling this stability? It looks more like a crisis waiting for a trigger...

“If you look at the behavior of the Chinese government, you don’t see any resistance from Apple — no history of standing up for the principles that Apple claims to be so attached to," said the Asia director of #AmnestyInternational. Apple should be on the side of individuals who want to make their lives safer and better with #technology, not of a #tyrant who wants to smother all free thinking!

It is understood that almost ONE THIRD of the tuition fees of the #UniversityofGlasgow are from Chinese students. The school has yet to retract this partnership, but said that they are dedicated to upholding academic freedom. Really?! What about the freedoms of the #Uyghurs, #Kazahks and other ethnic minorities repressed by #CCP which controls your "academic partner" too? Are they naive or just hypocritical?

Using black sites to detain people #CCP doesn't like but has no actual official reason to press charges is common in #China, but Wu's testimony is the only one known about black sites beyond #Chinese border. CCP is increasingly abusing its international clout to oppress dissidents. Wonder if there's any such jail got any under your nose?

"She saw another prisoner, a Uyghur woman, while waiting to use the bathroom once, she said. A second time, she heard a Uyghur woman shouting in Chinese, “I don’t want to go back to China, I want to go back to Turkey.” Wu identified the women as Uyghurs based on what she said was their distinctive appearance and accent."

What’s about the #ccp digital #currency? Well, #surveillance, surveillance and surveillance. Knowing where, when and how everyone spent - that’s a very good mapping of a person’s life. That’s what the CCP wants.
