Video surveillance software tailored for detecting Uyghurs.

Dahua Technology is a state-owned company which sells video surveillance products and services. They have played a role in the mass surveillance of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

Their Java SDK on GitHub: raw.githubusercontent.com/gaomingbo/dahu… Image
Why just Uyghurs and no one else?

Discussed on @ycombinator's Hacker News:
news.ycombinator.com/item?id=249607…

Like Hikvision, the US has sanctioned Dahua for its role in surveillance of Uyghurs in Xinjiang and of other minorities in China.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahua_Tec…

@ycombinator It gets more creepy.

The software can detect Uyghur / Not-Uyghur, race, obtain various facial characteristics, whether the person has a beard or wearing a mask.

It also assigns an “attractiveness” score between 1 to 100

魅力值, -1表示无效, 0未识别，识别时范围1-100,得分高魅力高 Image
@ycombinator Dahua Technology's video surveillance SDK appears to be tailored for detecting Uyghur vs Non-Uyghur faces

It can also identify race, extract various facial features, and infer emotions

Finally, it assigns each face an “attractiveness” score between 1-100
github.com/gaomingbo/dahu…
@ycombinator The person who uploaded Dahua Technology's SDK to GitHub has now deleted the repo for obvious reasons.

But it has been archived, for our record keeping.

There's a lot more in the code to further dig into later on.

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hong Kong & Stand with Hong Kong meet with various UK Government departments regularly to follow up on issues related to the #BNO visa. 1/7 Image
In light of recent developments in Hong Kong, the @ukhomeoffice has further relaxed application rules for the BN(O) visa.

The new rules allow BN(O) visa applicant who has arrived in the UK as a visitor to apply for the visa from inside the UK. 2/7
The same applies if you are already in the UK on a different visa and wish to switch to a BN(O) visa, or you have made an #asylum claim.

Under the new rules, the Home Office will no longer reject BN(O) visa applicant who are applying within the UK as a visitor. 3/7

The talented violinist performing our anthem is Ms Ruth Rogers, who is @BenedictRogers’ sister.

Thank you, for playing Glory to Hong Kong, especially on a day like today! It means a lot to HongKongers, especially those who are still in #HongKong.
@benedictrogers Meanwhile, in the new #HongKong🇨🇳, this is the ‘music’ that our young children are now taught to sing:
@benedictrogers HongKongers are no longer permitted to perform Glory to Hong Kong anymore in #HongKong. Doing so would risk arrest under the National Security Law.

But deep inside, we all play this tune inside of our minds:

Companies in Hong Kong fear being crushed between China and US

Most US business orgs (@AmChamHK) care more about their bottom line and access to China markets, than about democratic freedoms and human rights—core values their business foundations rely on. ft.com/content/0d5600…
@AmChamHK “A member of the US business community in HK said that while many were ‘horrified’ by police carting off pro-democracy activists in unmarked vans, they did not see it as relevant to their business.”

We talking about the same US companies here?

No paywall archive.is/OA3yv
@AmChamHK These same companies do not hesitate to virtue signal their support on social media and portray themselves to be the paragons of social justice.

But in HK many of these US companies and orgs (ie American Chamber of Commerce) are blue ribbons who refuse to acknowledge our voices.

“There were times when I cried so much I had to stop editing.”

Mr. Chow had tried to tune out concerns about what he could and couldn’t say, in order to stay true to his vision.

Hong Kong’s Exodus Is Real and Painful
