Readers in Chinese-speaking regions can now gain deeper insights into our findings on Geedge's suite! Our report “The Internet Coup” is now available in Traditional Chinese (using Taiwanese terminology), thanks to the translation by @anoni.net. #GreatFirewallExport anoni.net/docs/report/...

PBS did a great section on the Great Firewall Export, that we published together with @papertrailmedia.de @interseclab.bsky.social @justiceformyanmar.org @theglobeandmail.com @torproject.bsky.social and us @amnesty.org. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Mass surveillance has become a consumer product. Our new blog post explores what 100,000+ leaked documents reveal about a new frontier in state control — and what it means for protecting privacy and digital security. Read more: interseclab.org/can-mass-sur... #GreatFirewallExport

Interestingly, Geedge is developing the rules of censorship for and with the client governments. A list found inside the leak contains 281 applications to be blocked. Among them are VPNs, Tor/Orbot, the tool Psiphon, and – depending on the country – also messengers like Signal and Whatsapp.

Previous research by the GFW Report already indicated the existence of provincial firewalls across China with different levels of surveillance and censorship. The Geedge leak confirms that. Xinjiang, the home of 11 million Uyghurs, seems to serve as a testing ground for Geedge's new features.

#TheInternetCoup: In Ethiopia, the Geedge suite have been in use in the same time period as the Tigray civil war took place. Geedge began operating in Ethiopia in 2021, one year before the Tigray ceasefire in 2022.
