Chris Chappell's intro to the panel discussion on "The Dark Side of Tech"
at the Oslo Freedom Forum May 28, 2018
Thank you for joining us for this session on the dark side of tech.
We now have a man who's probably not the most popular man in China.
He runs an online show called China Uncensored.
In the last six years,
it has more than 100 million views
and he produces videos that maybe on the official version of China.
He's called Chris Chappell.
Hi, I'm Chris Chappell.
The host of the TV show China Uncensored.
For 6 years, we've used satire to cover topics the Chinese Communist Party would rather keep,
well, censored.
In 2014, we went to Hongkong for the Umbrella Movement.
We've also sailed to disputed teritory in the South China Sea.
This is what's above the surface of the Scaborough Shore.
By the way, since we put that flag there, that means it belongs to us.
So the teritory dispute is resolved.
Recently, we were in Australia to uncover the influence
the Chinese Communist Party is having in Australian politics.
And most recently, we came to the Oslo Freedom Forum.
I'm honor to be here to talk about the Dark Side of Tech.
So imagine you're texting a friend,
using a popular messaging app.
Let's say you send the picture of Winnie the Pooh.
And then the next day, police show a badge at your door.
Because, people online have been comparing Chinese leader Xi jin Ping to Winnie the Pooh.
Now this sounds ridiculous.
But, this is the real risk of Wechat.
Wechat is the biggest mobile app in China right now
with half a billion active users there.
People use it for everything.
Obviously texting or calling friends.
But the app does so much more than that.
You can also use it to pay for food,
pay utiliy bills, plane ticket,
you can book hotel room.
In fact, Wechat is making China an almost cashless society.
But, in doing so, Wechat also collect a tremendous amount of data about users.
When you sign-up for Wechat, you give it full permission to activate your phone microphone,
and camera.
Track your location, access your contacts and photos.
And then all this data can be transfered back to Wechat server
at any time.
And, thanks to the Chinese government national security law and the new cyber security law,
all that data in Wechat server can be accessed by the Chinese government.
And having police show up at your door
for something like Winnie the Pooh
isn't far fetch.
This is Chen Shouli,
he was detained by police for making a joke about a governement officer
in a private Wechat group.
And this is Wang Jiangfeng,
who is sentenced to two years in prison
for, on Wechat, calling Chinese leader Xi Jin Ping, a steam bun.
Chinese officers don't have the best sense of humor.
Wechat is like the television screen from 1984,
only, it's in your pocket and you gave it permission to follow you.
Then there's Chinese mass surveilance network.
It's everywhere.
It's combine millions of cameras with facial recognition software,
Wechat data, advance artificial intelligence,
so the government can keep taps on every Chinese citizens.
Police in Western China are already using a lot of technology
to monitor the ethnic Ughyr population,
This is something I know a lot about, so you should check-out the panel tomorrow.
And you may have heard of China's new social credit system.
We a little clip from the show about that.
So how would such a social credit score work?
Well, in one city in Shandong provice,
residents were assigned 1,000 points each.
And if you get a traffic ticket, you lose five points.
Earn a city-level award, such as for committing a heroic act...
your scores gets boosted by 30 points."
Remember standing up for human rights is not a heroic act.
That's subversion of state power.
Which is minus infinity points.
That's enough for that.
It's basically the Harry Potter system, 10 points for Gryffindor.
So basically, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to out-Orwell, George Orwell.
You see, from a long history of social engineering projects by the Communist Party,
that technology is not there for the people, it's there for the government.
Thank you.
