@ethanz A bit of hyperbole on my part, but it is well documented that Cisco and Juniper ( and Nortel ) were providing hardware and project support during the beginning of the GFW. Just hardware!! But with the knowledge of what it was to be used for.
I appreciate the distinction, but the bottom line is that the US and other 'western' corporations are the primary developers of surveillance tech. Developed and sold to governments with a strong profit motivation.
