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.

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.
