Working with MESA Lab, a regime-backed research lab, Geedge is reportedly building behavioral profiles of individuals based on their social media, location data, telecommunications, and online activity. AI models could then sift through profiles and spotlight those who might be a political risk. There is no evidence the technology is finalized or deployed, but if deployed, China’s surveillance system could become a tool to chill dissent before it ever begins.
