Chinese video surveillance equipment company Hikvision of engaging with a contract to develop technology that can identify Muslim students that are fasting during Ramadan
Prediction: the Americans most outraged by this are also the ones that most want to do it here.
Edit: I wasn’t talking about you I was talking about the general public.
Countries where mass surveillance (even to stop alleged terrorists) is bad
- Countries with red flags
- Countries with white and blue flags
- Countries with red white and blue flags
- The other countries
It’s always worth watching out for people who get super upset about some countries doing this, but super defensive when their personal favorite countries do it.
(To anybody who feels like downvoting, make sure to name the country where you think mass surveillance is okay!)
What flag has only blue and white?
I’m struggling to find one
Finland
the famous international Pariah Finland
The Israeli flag
now i feel stupid… -.-
Honduras
Huh, i could have sworn the Honduran stars were golden.
Nono, i already looked it up. I just was so sure
New Mandela effect just dropped
I’m referencing Israel, because that country imported the same products from the company in the article, in order to surveil Gazans.
Greece, to add another to the list.
Nope, I’m just very concerned that once this kind of feature is available from one company, more governments and businesses will find reasons to use it and demand more of it. If this exists anywhere it’s bad for everyone.
Of course, it’s probably not all that different from what Target has been doing for years, it’s just that China is targeting people for participating in a religious observance, which is some dark authoritarian shit.
