Wer noch nicht weiß, was ein überspezifisches Dementi ist, findet hier ein schönes Beispiel:

2015 enthüllte etwa die NGO Privacy International, dass Pakistan Überwachungstechnologien deutscher Unternehmen nutzte. Bereits damals war die massive Überwachungswut des Landes bekannt. Eines der deutschen Unternehmen, Utimaco, soll Medienberichten zufolge auch in Myanmar aktiv gewesen sein. Auf Anfrage hieß es von Utimaco, das Unternehmen habe stets alle Gesetze und Vorschriften eingehalten. Außerdem hätte man niemals direkte Geschäfte mit einem der Mobilfunknetzbetreiber in Myanmar getätigt.

#Sandvine to withdraw from 56 countries following U.S. sanctions over surveillance and censorship practices https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/sandvine-to-withdraw-from-56-countries-following-us-sanctions-over-surveillance-and-censorship-practices/

#Sandvine, makers of #surveillance-ware that allowed authoritarian countries to censor the internet and spy on their citizens, announced that it is leaving “non-democratic” countries as part of a major overhaul of the company.
Sandvine did not name the 56 countries, apart from #Egypt, where Sandvine promised to leave by the end of March 2025. For the remaining countries — including non-government customers in Egypt — the “end-of-service” date will be the end of 2025.

#CyberSecurity #Surveillance #Sandvine #Spyware #Censorship: "Sandvine, the makers of surveillance-ware that allowed authoritarian countries to censor the internet and spy on their citizens, announced that it is leaving dozens of “non-democratic” countries as part of a major overhaul of the company.

The company, which was founded in Canada, published a statement on Thursday, claiming that it now wants to be “a technology solution leader for democracies.” As part of this new strategy, Sandvine said it has already left 32 countries and is in the process of leaving another 24 countries.

Sandvine did not name the 56 countries, apart from Egypt, where Sandvine promised to leave by the end of March 2025. For the remaining countries — including non-government customers in Egypt — the “end-of-service” date will be the end of 2025.

This change in the company’s direction comes after years of investigations by Bloomberg, which reported that Sandvine had sold its internet surveillance products to authoritarian regimes, including Belarus, Egypt, Eritrea, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan."

All'inizio di quest'anno, il Dipartimento del Commercio degli Stati Uniti ha inserito Sandvine in una blocklist con l'accusa di vendita dei suoi prodotti anche al governo egiziano, che utilizza Sandvine "per il monitoraggio e per la censura di massa del web per bloccare le notizie e prendere di mira attori politici e attivisti per i diritti umani".

Sandvine, che produce software di sorveglianza che permette a Paesi autoritari di censurare Internet e spiare i propri cittadini, ha annunciato l'abbandono di decine di Paesi "non democratici" nell'ambito di un'importante revisione dell'azienda.

Dictators Used #Sandvine Tech to #Censor the Internet. The US Finally Did Something About It

Canada-based Sandvine has long sold its web-monitoring tech to #authoritarian regimes. This week, the US #sanctioned the company, severely limiting its ability to do business with American firms.

Gonna be interesting to see what my #Sandvine colleagues think of how PacketLogic got deployed...

More urgent #Apple patches: @citizenlab in collaboration with #Google TAG @maddiestone uncovered #predator attacks against Egyptian pro-democracy politician Ahmed #Eltantawy. Worth a read, especially Bill #Marczak's phenomenal localization of the #spyware injection to a #Sandvine middlebox.

Dos proveedores rusos utilizaron la tecnología de #Sandvine para filtrar todo el tráfico de datos.
Tras la invasión de #Ucrania, las actividades en Rusia se redujeron y los sistemas sólo se utilizaron para "la facturación y el control de la calidad del servicio", dijo un portavoz.

La empresa tuvo que admitir anteriormente que no se podía evitar el uso de la tecnología para la #censura y el bloqueo de la web.

Zwei russische Provider durchleuchteten mit Technik von #Sandvine den gesamten Datenverkehr.
Nach der Invasion in die #Ukraine habe man die Aktivitäten in Russland zurückgefahren, die Systeme seien nur für "Rechnungsstellung und die Kontrolle der Qualität von Diensten" verwendet worden, sagte ein Sprecher.

Dass der Einsatz der Technik für #Zensur und Web-Blockaden nicht verhindert werden könne, musste das Unternehmen schon früher einräumen.
