Starting December 1st, China’s new MLPS 2.0 cybersecurity laws will require a submission of facial scan to receive internet access.
(14 Oct) China will implement its new MLPS (Multi-level Protection of Information Security) 2.0 cybersecurity laws on December 1st, 2019. This new rule means every new mobile number and internet user will be associated with a facial scan, and the Chinese Ministry of Public Security can browse all data on Chinese networks, including foreign owned businesses, through the use of big data techniques. China is attempting to destroy anonymity on the Internet.
China has been increasingly using facial recognition technology as a surveillance tool and to silence opposition, such as spotting criminals in the crowd and evaluating how attentive students are in classroom. It is associated with the social credit system, which China is putting the surveillance in a new height. Recent laws in Hong Kong to ban the use of face masks also showcase the prevalence of such facial recognition technology in the ongoing privacy battleground. The extension of China’s internet rules and preferences on previously free internet space is worrying.
