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.

Chinese-style sportsmanship : to win by disqualifying opponents

//Slovenia won the mixed team ski jumping title at the Winter Olympics but it was an event embroiled in controversy as several jumpers were disqualified due to supposed suit violations.

Germany, Japan, Austria and Norway all felt aggrieved after falling foul of the officials’ judgement. ...

Germany coach Stefan Horngacher was among those to vent his fury.

"It's totally crazy. Three girls disqualified. Three professional girls, they always win World Cups. And we had no explanation," he said on Eurosport.//

Swedish Gold Medalist says China's hosting of Olympics 'extremely irresponsible' amid human rights abuses

//Swedish speed skater Nils van der Poel, who won two gold medals at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, on Sunday, February 13, 2022, condemned the International Olympic Committee (#IOC) as being "extremely irresponsible" in handing over the games to a country that "violates human rights as blatantly" as China does.

25-year-old Nils van der Poel took gold in the men's 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter speed skating competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics, setting the world record in the latter.

...He compared the games to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.

He said that the Olympics is a "fantastic sporting event where you unite the world and nations meet," but he added that "so did Hitler before invading Poland, and so did Russia before invading Ukraine," referring to the German invasion of Poland in 1939 and the invasion of Ukrainian territory in Crimea by Russia in 2014.

As for Beijing's hosting of the Winter Games, Van de Poel said, "I think it is extremely irresponsible to give it to a country that violates human rights as blatantly as the Chinese regime is doing."//

Natalie Geisenberger: I’d never returned to China

#NatalieGeisenberger, Germany’s #luge champion who took home a sixth gold medal at #WinterOlympic Games this year. She went to Beijing having previously criticised China and even considered boycotting.

“When there’s #HumanRights and the country’s stance on #LGBT, those issues should be taken into consideration by the #IOC (in selecting host nations).”

Geisenberger refused to speak about the human rights issue during the Games.

“You have to be careful when you say what, and where you say it, and I think many are feeling this way. Here on location, I think it’s better not to say too much,” she said on February 8.

Having now returned to Germany, she told newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung that she will never return to China.

“It’s just not a holiday destination for me, and I wouldn’t go to China for a World Cup either,” Geisenberger continued saying, “it has nothing to do with the pandemic. I wasn’t there because I really wanted to go to China, but because the IOC decided that the Olympic Games would take place in Beijing.
