Show Notes

A tech and human rights abuse case against Cisco from 2011 is brought back into the light.

Lawmakers ask the Trump administration to support the case, holding the tech company liable for its Golden Shield project. It's alleged that Cisco's tool allows the Chinese Communist Party to monitor people, specifically Falun Gong practitioners.
