Description

Arms giant Dassault Systèmes, a strategic partner of Thales, sold a mass surveillance system to Egypt in collaboration with Nexa Technologies. In 2017, Ahmed Alaa, a student in Egypt, was imprisoned for 80 days after being accused of posting a photo under a rainbow flag on social media. His arrest was facilitated by a mass surveillance system sold to the Egyptian government by French companies Nexa Technologies, Ercom-Suneris (a subsidiary of Thales), and Dassault Systèmes. This system, which includes internet surveillance software "Cerebro" and phone tapping device "Cortex vortex," allowed the regime to monitor and arrest its opponents.
