UPDATE: I also broke the story of an AI system that automatically reports protest signs and protestors' faces to PRC authorities. This was also cited by @USCC_GOV.

This is really impressive evidence that the surveillance tech assessment company IPVM, & their stellar staff like @healy_conor, are having a significant impact on how Congress uses their work to understand China risks. I would add that the Cdn govt too uses their work.

So we've been doing this for a long time. The companies that use these strategies always have something to hide.
Here's a list of what Zynex tried to slow us down. #dirty.

【上海升级AI监控系统，已完成！】
位于美国宾夕法尼亚州的安全和监控行业研究小组和贸易出版物 IPVM根据他们获取的上海市招标文件，发布报告说：
上海市中心徐汇区正在进行大规模监控扩大升级，将面部识别摄像头增加两倍，数据处理、分析和存储能力成倍增加，以便对5000多万人次的日常活动和行为档案 进行 "海量数据挖掘"。
预计该系统于2024年5月10日完工，工程造价3100万人民币, 目标人群为110万人口。强调 “一人一个档案文件”模式，构建每位居民实时和过去旅行、社交关系、活动和其他综合信息的详细档案。
根据这些数据，当局声称AI分析可以审查个人和群体的行为模式，检测偏差并触发潜在事件的“预警”。

PRC police in Shanghai are installing 2,500 new facial recognition cameras as part of a system that scans ~25.9 million faces daily, tracking people's "social relationships" and whether they are Uyghurs.

A Chinese surveillance equipment maker (@SunellSecurity) is openly marketing military-use items in Russia e.g. radars & thermal cams
Its CEO, who has praised Putin for invading Ukraine, clearly used ChatGPT or some other AI to respond

Weird.
The metadata in this letter from Michael Beckerman, TikTok’s head of public policy, to the @committeeonccp lists the author as 郑涵 (Zheng Han).
It would be useful to know who Zheng Han is & where they are based.

nine aggregations of @josephfcox's scoop about a spy tool scraping and selling Discord chats are on Google News but our original article is not.
An AI generated content farm version is also still being indexed by Google News. Google lemme know if you're ever going to fix this

We got a lovely old school long-form, deep dive @TheAgenda panel for you tonight on all things TikTok -- from the ban and divestment to the nature of the threat it poses and if democratic countries should be in the business of banning social media platforms.

"Other social media platforms can't really be trusted right now too, but by virtue of the fact that they're based in the U.S., they can be reined in and TikTok can't." — @healy_conor at 8/11pm with @taylor_owen, @JameelJaffer, @SteinJanice & @spaikin | Producer: @ebombicino

"At the scale of the NYC subway system, if we envision the four million daily riders, there will be one million false flags or alerts, bringing the whole system to a standstill," @NYCLU's Daniel Schwarz (@_dschwarz) said.
