Amnesty report exposes Pakistan's mass surveillance and censorship with tech firms from China, US, EU, UAE

A new report by Amnesty International has revealed that Pakistan's expanding surveillance and online censorship system is being powered by a global network of technology companies based in China, Europe, North America and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The report, titled "Shadows of Control", highlights how advanced tools are being used to monitor, censor, and control digital communication on an unprecedented scale. The investigation, carried out over a year with the support of media and human rights organisations, shows how Pakistan operates two key systems -- the Web Monitoring System (WMS 2.0) and the Lawful Intercept Management System (LIMS).
