On October 3, the New York Times' Stuart Thompson criticized so-called "far-right election deniers" for a "conspiracy theory" alleging that Konnech, an election software company based in East Lansing, Michigan, had "secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States."
Thompson, a "misinformation and disinformation" reporter, suggested that these claims, which allegedly made the CEO of the company cry, were used to "raise doubts about the integrity of American elections."
The NY Times piece ended in a quote from the company's 51-year-old Chinese-born CEO, Eugene Yu: "They had no interest in the truth. ... The truth is inconvenient."
Первое:
Konnech Inc. filed a defamation lawsuit against True the Vote on September 12, suggesting that the group's accusations of wrongdoing were damaging and would prove "particularly problematic in light of the upcoming 2022 midterm elections, for which Konnech has contracts to provide election logistics software for voting districts across the country."
Konnech and members of the media who reported on the lawsuit suggested that True the Vote leaders' intimations that Yu may have been cooperating with Chinese communists were racist and xenophobic and that the claim Yu was spearheading a "Red Chinese communist op run against the United States" was not an expression of geopolitical concern but of bigotry.
Второе:
On October 4, Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information and computer hard drives.
In a statement issued after Yu's arrest, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón said, "Data breaches are an ongoing threat to our digital way of life. When we entrust a company to hold our confidential data, they must be willing and able to protect our personal identifying information from theft. Otherwise, we are all victims"
Десерт:
According to Gascón's office, while Konnech was required to store sensitive election-related data in the United States and only make it accessible to citizens and permanent residents, the company had stored data on servers in China.
Заметим, что прокурор - тот самый ультралевый Гаскон, т.е., по-видимому, сомнений в виновности у него, по крайней мере, нет.

They did not provide data to CCP. They simply stored unencrypted data on some Chinese server. They don’t know who has access to this data but they implemented strong security measures to protect all the data (ie they didn’t use password “password” and used “password2” instead).

French author Annie Ernaux has won the Nobel Prize in literature, organizers announced in Stockholm.
Organizers told reporters on Thursday they focused on literary quality and not on sending a message to the world when choosing the award. But Ernaux's victory shines a light on her writing about abortion, months after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Вот вроде бы есть законы, да. И есть практика. Девелоперы в Китае, сервера в Китае. Теленав не стеснялся хранить данные о навигации юзеров в Китае. Практически слежка; особенно это мило в отношении грузовиков.
Надеюсь, их таки поприжали потом. Надеюсь.
