Millions of Chinese cameras send data to China, and you don’t even know it

Did you know that thousands, even millions of cameras of various kinds Made in China, normally used in companies, homes and even public places, send a stream of data to China?

As early as 2 019 Forbes had dealt with this problem of illicit mass surveillance and had cited a specific case: Dahua Technology, the second largest CCTV manufacturer in the world, which, together with its sister company Hikvision of Hangzhou, through a wide range of OEMs in both the US and Europe, it lost contracts with US government authorities because it was found to be sending a data stream to China via a backdoor. But even the surveillance cameras placed at RAI as in thousands of private companies have the same security problem. The data is sent to China, and this is even more worrying because the country of the Far East is very skilled in crossing data through AI, artificial intelligence, thus controlling personal behaviors. Remember that the "Social Score" is a a reality that in China directly punishes behavior against the government.

As you can hear, Report also took care of this.
