00:00Ramsha Jahangir wrote a very good investigative article in Dawn on 22nd August, 2024.
00:06She said that the web management system that has been upgraded and is being done since 2023,
00:13and PTA has also acknowledged it,
00:16they say that in 2018, there was a company called Sandvine.
00:20Sandvine is a very controversial company.
00:22There is talk of its Israeli links.
00:24Its Deep Packet Inspection Technology or DPI,
00:28it can block or stop any traffic coming from VPN,
00:34it has some techniques like packet dropping, rate limit reduction, surveillance,
00:38that is, it can see what is coming, what is going, what is the content,
00:43it can also complete blocking of websites, it can also do VPN whitelisting.
00:49So this technology is there.
00:51If terrorism has to be fought, there are issues of cyber security,
00:56they already have this technology, the government has it.
01:00And this company specializes in these countries where there is such strictness.
01:04They have sold it to Azerbaijan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan.
01:10So the government has the sources of identification.
01:14They may know that today there is technology,
01:17that this thing is like this, what you have written, what I have said,
01:20then is there any justification?
01:23Yes, of course, as far as terrorism is concerned,
01:26when things are limited to terrorism, then no one has any objection.
01:32And if those technologies are there,
01:35and we have seen in the past that people have been apprehended
01:39due to these technologies,
01:42their sleeper cells have also been broken,
01:46our intelligence agencies have also reached them.
01:49But the problem starts from here,
01:52when you start using all this to suppress a political narrative.
01:56Now if the government itself does not have anything to give a narrative,
02:00if they themselves do not have any good stories to give,
02:03to accept their own narrative in the public.
02:06If they themselves are dumbfounded, then they want us to become deaf.
02:08So that everyone else also becomes deaf.
02:10Now this cannot happen.
02:12Now if you try to do this, then there are many other ways.
02:15Here you were saying that meth is being smuggled with Starlink.
02:18Today I read in the newspaper, I shared with you during the break,
02:21that 4.5 billion dollars, 600 kilos of meth worth 4.5 billion dollars,
02:26has been caught in India in the last 1-2 days,
02:29and Starlink was being used to deliver it.
02:33This is also happening in Ukraine.
02:35So in this era, and you should also try to understand this,
02:39that the most user on digital platforms,
02:43the most engaged is the young generation.
02:46Now what message are you giving to that young generation,
02:49that the platform to vent out your anger,
02:52where you can vent out,
02:54when you put restrictions on such things in the society,
02:57you put restrictions on those avenues,
02:59then what will people do?
03:00Then a new technology will come.
03:01So the way will come out.
03:03But they should focus on their narrative.
03:08If they themselves are unacceptable,
03:10if they do not have legitimacy,
03:12then they are harming the rest of the world to hide their flaws.
03:16Sania ji, I have just told you,
03:18Deep Packet Inspection Technology,
03:20the entire web management system,
03:22is it right what Ramsha has written?
03:24Because then the government has all the ability,
03:27to intercept, to see who is saying what,
03:30which group is not doing what.
03:32So all these things that we are hearing,
03:34are they all just stories?
03:38See, in 2018, the notifications on the Sanvine system,
03:43were acquired.
03:45After that, in the beginning of this year,
03:48we were told that it is being upgraded.
03:50Then we heard the rumours of the so-called firewall,
03:52and the web management system,
03:54which is still not recognized.
03:56Recently, an article has come in Al Jazeera,
03:58that it seems that it has been acquired from a Chinese company.
04:03Because there was a lot of noise about Sanvine,
04:06on the international level.
04:07And in other countries, there is also a debate,
04:10that this surveillance technology,
04:12should have export controls,
04:14just like there are on ammunition.
04:16So on the internet and the global stage,
04:18these things are also being debated.
04:20Right now, the Sanvine system is not working.
04:23Someone else has been acquired.
04:25Their contract expired in 2023,
04:27and Ramsha has written in her article,
04:29what she is saying,
04:30that from May 9 to 11,
04:32a delegation went to China,
04:35and they hacked the firewall,
04:37and according to them,
04:39they paid 1.2 billion for the initial software.
04:42They came back, the test failed,
04:44but everything is going on again.
04:47Yes, absolutely.
04:48They have the system,
04:49but deep packet inspection,
04:51if you are protected from encryption,
04:53your communication is not there,
04:55but your metadata,
04:57who is communicating with whom,
04:59which website is it going to.
05:01So this is like a digital check post,
05:03that which vehicle is going,
05:05what is the vehicle number,
05:07can you be traced,
05:08all these things are being done,
05:10and are happening.
05:11And surveillance,
05:12we know that the open line is happening,
05:14the lawful so-called intercept management system,
05:16which we found out,
05:17Islamabad High Court,
05:19and they know that surveillance technology,
05:21they have been using it a lot,
05:23but by shutting down all these things,
05:25look,
05:26this terrorism statement is not new.
05:28In 2014,
05:29there was APS,
05:31and then the National Action Plan came,
05:33and we were told that PICA is needed.
05:35But what have we seen?
05:37The definition of a terrorist,
05:39is it a journalist,
05:41or a human rights activist,
05:44or a lawyer,
05:46so we have to see,
05:48that the government statements we take at face value,
05:50and the things that are at their disposal,
05:53even in the US,
05:54which is considered a surveillance state,
05:56there too,
05:57congressional hearings have been reformed,
05:59even in Germany,
06:00the intelligence agencies,
06:02they come in a certain area,
06:04and there is oversight over them,
06:06but here,
06:07the executive is free to do whatever he wants.
06:09The authority that is being formed here,
06:11the chairman can immediately get it banned,
06:13or get it inside as well.
06:14Osama,
06:15the issue of VPN,
06:17people are saying that
06:18either there will be a company,
06:19or there will be another one,
06:21or there is a freelancer,
06:22it is very difficult to register for that as well.
06:24Any other person who wants a VPN,
06:26whether it is a student or a researcher,
06:28he may not be able to register for a VPN.
06:30Please clarify this for us.
06:33Yes,
06:34a VPN is a virtual private network,
06:36so to protect your privacy,
06:38you join a network,
06:40in which you are tracked.
06:42Here people are using VPN to go to X,
06:44VPN is for security.
06:46Yes, for basic things.
06:47But see,
06:48when we give digital security training to people,
06:51we tell them,
06:52when you join a public Wi-Fi,
06:54you must use a VPN.
06:56Because if you are connected to different devices on a Wi-Fi network,
07:00you can hack them as well as access them.
07:03So for basic security,
07:05your VPN is very important.
07:06So if I am using a VPN,
07:08I am doing business on it,
07:09or I am a freelancer,
07:10I am working for a company,
07:12so if a person in Thailand hacks me,
07:15and if there is a VPN,
07:16for that,
07:17if there is no VPN,
07:18is it easy,
07:19or is it easier to hack me with a VPN?
07:21If there is no VPN,
07:23then it is easy for you to hack,
07:25or it will be easy to track you.
07:27But a VPN gives you security,
07:29your IP address.
07:30So this gives you the benefit that
07:32no one can do your surveillance.
07:34The agencies in foreign countries,
07:36they are also your security.
07:37Okay, I want to take a quick break.
07:38I am leaving questions.
07:39So tell me this,
07:40then in the statement of the government,
07:42you can see the truth that
07:44we let them use VPN,
07:46so that terrorist organizations,
07:48people of both sides,
07:49can protect their identity.
07:50Then the Prime Minister shouldn't do it either.
07:52How can he tweet on X?
07:54That's the thing.
