Vice Motherboard rapporterar:
Foreigners crossing certain Chinese borders into the Xinjiang region, where authorities are conducting a massive campaign of surveillance and oppression against the local Muslim population, are being forced to install a piece of malware on their phones that gives all of their text messages as well as other pieces of data to the authorities, a collaboration by Motherboard, Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Guardian, the New York Times, and the German public broadcaster NDR has found.
Vilket naturligtvis är en oacceptabel integritetskränkning. Men hur skall västvärlden kunna protestera med trovärdighet, när vi själva använder »statstrojaner« och spionprogram? I Sverige är nya lagar om »hemlig dataavläsning« just nu på väg genom det politiska systemet.
