Google Introduces New Room 101 App In China

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Beijing, China) Today Google announced they were releasing a new application developed for China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS). Dubbed “Room 101,” the new software not only tracks the “social credit rating” of all citizens, but also records all attempts to break government laws, as well as all relevant information for enhancing state security interrogations of subversives.

“While completing Project Dragonfly, we became aware that there were other Chinese state security needs we could be filing,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai. “That’s when we started work on Room 101.”

“Before, MSS officers had to rely on cumbersome file folders for surveillance of Chinese subjects scattered throughout regional offices. We’re bringing all that information to their fingertips!”

Among the information Room 101 tracks for every subject:

  • Their day-to-day commuting travels schedule, and where police might most easily pick them up
  • Attempts to evade the Great Firewall of China
  • Any subversive information found on their PCs or phones
  • Membership in Falun Gong or human rights organizations
  • Homosexual tendencies or activities
  • Forbidden religious affiliations (especially Christian, Muslim, or “unapproved” Buddhist sects)
  • Their greatest fears and phobias
  • Which subjects might be most susceptible to public shaming campaigns
  • Which of their relatives might be most effectively interrogated to elicit information from, or to force the subject’s compliance
  • Which body parts they are most in fear of losing.

    • There are also modules for leading modules for self-criticism sessions, pain tracking, and a variety of prefilled forms for subjects to confess their sins against the Communist Party.

    Pichai indicated that an initial trial on Google’s own personnel showed great promise at tracking and eliminating wrongthink.

    Pichai said he looked forward to rolling out modified versions of Room 101 to other countries.

    “If you want to know the future, imagine Google tracking every thought of every person on earth, forever.”
