This is what surveillance looks like. It's happening now. This is the reality
Without a WeChat account, your life is very complicated in China. They have to take care of what they are saying in their conversations in order to avoid a ban

Imagine the tech behind this, the IA, the number of operators, the data centers used to censor the WeChat conversations
This is sick. I will do my best to expose one by one these surveillance tools and provide the tools to fight this surveillance
