China's New 'Social Credit Score' Law Means Full Access To Customer Data
AnonymousCube shares this quote about China's new 'Social Credit Score' law from an insurance industry magazine:"Companies are also required to give government investigators complete access to their data if there is suspected wrong-doing, and Internet operators must cooperate in any national security or crime-related investigation." Note that China has an extremely flexible definition of "national security".Additionally computer equipment will need to undergo mandatory certification, that could involve giving up source code, encryption keys, or even proprietary intellectual data, as Microsoft has been doing for some time. The article suggests businesses like insurers "will likely see the cost of complying with this new action as a disincentive to conducting business in China."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
