Silk Road of Surveillance: The report exposes the significant collaboration between the illegal Myanmar military junta and Geedge Networks in implementing a commercial version of China’s “Great Firewall”, giving the junta unprecedented capabilities to track down, arrest, torture and kill civilians.
