While being billed as a way to monitor social media in order to “monitor
security hazards in social networks” and “identify persons representing a
danger on society” (sic), past and recent actions by the Egyptian government
demonstrate that democracy activists, political dissidents, and journalists are
likely to be targeted. Just this week, prominent democracy ip camera activist and writer
Alaa Abd El Fattah was sentenced to 15 years on trumped up charges for
“illegal protesting and attacking a police officer.” Fattah, who has been
jailed repeatedly for his activism, was arrested outside a Cairo courtroom
after being prevented from attending his own trial and sentenced in absentia.

Given the crackdown that has occurred under ex-army chief and now President
Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, it is frightening that the government will possess a
surveillance system with the ability to monitor individuals, groups and
organisations on social media around the clock. While the White House has asked
Sisi to carry out human rights reforms, U.S. and European governments must also
cease the export of the Western-built tools that enable human right violations
in Egypt.

The Social Networks wireless ip camera Security Hazard Monitoring System
The copy of a call for tenders, leaked to the government-tied media outlet El
Watan, asked for surveillance companies to submit plans for building an open
source intelligence system called the “Social Networks Security Hazard
Monitoring system”. The purpose of this system is to “conduct wide searches
on various networks to find everything that is a violation of the law, the
spreading of destructive ideas that help spreading chaos, tensions and
corruption in society.”

In the document, the Ministry of Interior lays out what these “destructive
ideas” are:
ideas” are:
…blasphemy and skepticism in religions; regional, religious, racial, and class
divisions; spreading of rumors and intentional twisting of facts; throwing
accusations; libel; sarcasm; using inappropriate words; calling for the
departure of societal pillars;4ch NVR System encouraging extremism, violence and dissent;
inviting demonstrations, sit-ins and illegal strikes; pornography, looseness,
and lack of morality; educating methods of making explosives and assault, chaos
and riot tactics; calling for normalizing relations with enemies and
circumventing the state's strategy in this regard; fishing for honest mistakes,
hunting flesh; taking statements out of context; and spreading hoaxes and
claims of miracles.”

The document specifically asks that the surveillance camera system have the ability to analyse and
monitor Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, but says that it would be a plus if the
provider could offer support on “more social networks (Instagram, LinkedIn,
Google, Viber, Whatsapp...).”
