China's digital dictatorship: How AI increases control of users!

China - Internet freedom is on the brink worldwide! A terrifying report by the NGO Freedom House shows that the situation has continued to deteriorate in 14 consecutive years. This year, 72 countries were examined, with Internet freedom in 27 countries deteriorated, while only 18 of them had improvements. China remains the sad bottom in the ranking and leads a strict censorship against regime critics, both in Germany and abroad, with the use of artificial intelligence, as reported by the Krone . This includes mass video surveillance and comprehensive state control that denies citizens access to western information.

massive censorship and surveillance in China

The Chinese government has established an unprecedented surveillance mechanism, which has recently also aimed at using certain words and memes. These measures are rejected as "irregular and uncivilized" language and oppressed in the internet landscape of rigoros. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in which it helps to scan and control the population, as the Netzpolitik reports. The country shares the last place with Myanmar, where there is a strict censorship regime after the 2021 military coup in 2021. Here technologies were introduced to block VPNS, which previously served as protection against censorship.

The situation in Germany appears stable in comparison, with an assessment of 77/100 in terms of internet freedom; However, warning signals can also be seen here. A controversial "security package" of the government is viewed critically and could consider view and access to information considerably. As early as July 2023, data protection crimes were shown by the Netzpolitik.org platform, which undermined trust in user security. These developments raise questions whether Germany can maintain its status as a free country in the coming year. The need for vigilance against potential for monitoring and discrimination remains urgent. राजनीतिक
