Una lunga inchiesta di Associated Press rivela come le grandi aziende tecnologiche statunitensi abbiano contribuito in modo significativo a disegnare e costruire l'immenso apparato di sorveglianza e detenzione cinese, guadagnando miliardi di dollari da queste commesse. In particolare, le tecnologie di sorveglianza statunitensi hanno consentito al governo cinese di attuare la brutale campagna di detenzioni di massa nella regione dello Xinjiang che ha preso di mira, tracciato e classificato praticamente l'intera popolazione uigura autoctona per assimilarla e sottometterla con la forza

Critically, American #surveillance #technologies allowed a brutal mass #detention campaign in the far west region of #Xinjiang — targeting, tracking & grading virtually the entire native #Uyghur population to forcibly assimilate & subdue them.

#US #tech companies did this by bringing “#PredictivePolicing” to #China — #technology that sucks in & analyzes data to prevent crime, protests, or terror attacks before they happen.
