CV03. Information: How China Censored Covid-19. In the early hours of Feb. 7, China’s powerful internet censors experienced an unfamiliar and deeply unsettling sensation. They felt they were losing control. Leaked Documents Show How China’s Army of Paid Internet Trolls Helped Censor the Coronavirus. How China Manipulates Truth – at Scale.

CV04. Politics: Pandemic Consequences: The Acceleration of Confrontational Politics. Soon after the coronavirus began spreading widely around the world, a dominant narrative emerged about its likely effect on global politics: the pandemic would reinforce autocratic governance. And dozens of authoritarian or authoritarian leaning leaders, from Cambodia to Hungary, indeed quickly seized the moment to amass more power, undercut institutional checks and balances, and restrict citizen freedoms in ways that exceeded public-health necessity. Accurate though this narrative proved to be, it is an incomplete picture of the pandemic’s political impact. Almost a year in, another critical trend has become apparent: contrary to the hopes of some observers, the pandemic is also fueling the longer term ascendancy of confrontational Politics. Five Ways Some States Have Used the Pandemic to Curtail Human Rights and Democracy. In Responding to Covid, Nations Copy Policies of Regimes with Similar Political Ideology.
-A. Polarization Increases with Economic Decline, Becoming Cripplingly Contagious CV05. The rise of populist movements is changing political systems around the world. As support for these "anti elite" movements intensifies, many are scrambling to understand whether economic decline and intensifying inter group conflict are playing a role. Times arise when national unity is needed, like we're seeing now with Covid-19, but we shouldn't wait for a public health crisis or war to bring people together. Policymakers and those in government should act now by investing in and protecting social safety nets that can prevent widening social and political divisions.

But what about at places that require a higher level of security, like airports. Is this a problem or the bias of security paranoia that feel a need for absolute control and preserve facial recognition and total surveillance. Facial Recognition Programs Are Getting Better at Recognizing Masked Faces CV19.
