Wall Street und die chinesische Überwachung

Die Hedge Fonds von der Wall Street investieren offenbar massiv in chinesische Überwachungssysteme, die anhand der Auswertung von Cybercafes die Anfänge von Protesten erkennen sollen:

Wall Street analysts now follow the growth of companies that install surveillance systems providing Chinese police stations with 24-hour video feeds from nearby Internet cafes. Hedge fund money from the United States has paid for the development of not just better video cameras, but face-recognition software and even newer behavior-recognition software designed to spot the beginnings of a street protest and notify police.

Das Thema beschäftigt mittlerweile wohl den US Congress.
