　The Beijing Winter Olympics are getting excited. In a sense, the focus of more than the competition is political issues such as diplomacy, human rights, and "digital monitoring." In China, which is known as a "digital monitoring power", such as censorship of surveillance cameras and the Internet that has been installed in the country, only China and reporters will be monitored, which is important information. There are concerns that they may be. [Photo] According to the Olympic official app "My2022", "too dangerous ...", the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands do not bring their own smartphones to their own players. I'm calling. The Japanese government is also alert. At a press conference on the 2nd, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroichi Matsuno should be able to provide a different terminal from his private smartphone, and to transmit it to the players immediately after returning to Japan. It was requested. It was the problem of the app "My2022" (Winter Oku -dori), which is provided for the Olympics and reporters. The app summarizes features such as the news and schedule of the Olympics, weather forecasts, online shops, chat messages, etc., but expert analysis revealed that there was a defect. Citizen Lab, a research institution at Toronto University, announced on January 18 that the app was analyzed and had a vulnerability and a censorship word list. Registering the app requires a passport number, overseas travel history, the presence or absence of vaccination, and a PCR test, and a record of body temperature measurement 14 days before traveling to China. Anxiety has spread that such information could be stolen.

Digital monitoring nation's "disappointing situation"

　So, there are many people who are angry, saying, "China is scared, trying to steal information from the Olympics ..." "What is a speech censor at the Peace Festival?" I want to calmly see what I was trying to do and what I did. The only thing that can be seen through the back of the Olympic app "My2022" is the fact that the "digital monitoring power" is a very trivial situation. As mentioned above, My2022 has a censorship word list. The registered words are 2442. Speech that threatens the rule of the Chinese Communist Party may be banned from the roots, so if you look at the list, surprisingly or surprisingly, a considerable number of eroticism is occupied. The list analyzed by Citizen Lab can be seen from this URL. Below, I would like to introduce it while blurred as much as possible.
