Police in the Xinjiang region of China rely on a master list of 50,000 multimedia files they deem “violent and terrorist” to flag Uyghur and other Turkic Muslim residents for interrogation. An investigation found that over nine months, police conducted nearly 11 million searches of a total of 1.2 million mobile phones in Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital city of 3.5 million residents.
Not gonna act like I am super educated on the situation in Xinjiang, but I do know the PRC line is that Muslims in that region were being radicalized and there were terrorist attacks and such. Also heard things about CIA “help” for this radicalization. So what I am getting at, what do you think can be done about it? Just let it ride?
Oh yea I mean I don’t like anything like this happening and I can imagine there is a better way. At the same time, I also believe that if the US government was good it would be doing this to the tens of millions of wild christofash in this country soooo I don’t know honestly its fucked.

fair - I managed to find it, fair point, although the Pulitzer Center doesn't exactly pass a gut check with flying colors

Was it specifically profiling people based on ethnicity? How did it make such a determination?
