#Petro, in New York for #UNGA, told a crowd outside the #UN headquarters: "I ask all the soldiers of the army of the United States not to point their guns at people. Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity!"

Across #China, tens of thousands of people tagged as troublemakers…are trapped in a #digital cage, barred from leaving their province & sometimes even their homes by the world’s largest digital #surveillance apparatus. Most of this #technology came from companies in a country that has long claimed to support freedoms worldwide: the #UnitedStates.

Such systems mine a vast array of information — texts, calls, payments, flights, video, DNA swabs, mail deliveries, the internet, even water & power use — to unearth individuals deemed suspicious & predict their behavior. But they also allow Chinese #police to threaten friends & family & preemptively detain people for crimes they have not even committed.

Over the past quarter century, American #tech companies to a large degree designed & built #China’s #surveillance state, playing a far greater role in enabling #HumanRights abuses than previously known, an AP investigation found. They sold billions of dollars of technology to the Chinese #police, #government & surveillance companies, despite repeated warnings from the #US#Congress & in the media that such tools were being used to quash #dissent, persecute #religious sects & target #minorities.
