Chapter 793: Prism Gate (I)

Zhou Shi's biggest purpose of coming to India was achieved when he met Modi, and he began to tour Yahoo and Yelp's companies in India to observe their development. Yahoo's search engine, with the help of YouTube, Twitter, F&F and other sites, is starting to storm Google's market, and there is a lot of hope to dig a piece of meat out of it.

Microsoft's Bing doesn't have so many network resources like Zhou Shi, they are at most bound by the operating system, and Yahoo has the help of the Chrome browser. Moreover, Yahoo Search's marketing strategy is to focus on the English and Chinese search markets, and concentrate on high-intensity competition in a limited market. The other Spanish, Portuguese, French-speaking and German-speaking markets, although not to give up, do not put much effort into it either.

India's Internet penetration is not high, and the growth rate of mobile Internet users is significantly faster than that of traditional PCs, Yahoo's focus is definitely on the mobile terminal, accumulating strength, dislocation competition, Zhou Shi is more satisfied with everything. These days in India, there has been an increase in authority, greater ownership of the country, an increase in the proportion of Indian employees, and increased regulation, such as the adoption of the same management system as in the United States......

In addition, it also communicated cordially with the employees here and replied to some localization suggestions on the spot, which increased Yahoo's investment in the Indian market.

"Mr. Zhou, something is wrong!" Chen Wen hurriedly ran over

"What's the matter?" he said, putting down his work

"An employee of Yahoo named Fallon suddenly left, broke a prism plan, and fled to Xiangjiang. According to this Prism plan, the United States can access a large number of personal chat logs, stored data, voice communications, file transfers, and personal social network ......data through the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Apple, F&F, and other companies

"Made, it's finally erupted!" Zhou Shi muttered to himself, letting Hou raise his voice, "Who recruited this guy, and were we greatly affected?"

"It's not clear, but the incident came from the British "Guardian", and then the Peanutun Post continued to report ......" Chen Wen

"Has anyone splashed dirt on Yahoo and me?" Zhou Shi has never been to the United States, just because he suddenly found this guy in Yahoo, worried that he would be used, this guy will find an opportunity to get close to him, whether it is to leak the information to himself, or to want him to provide financial support and protection, there is trouble for him, and the identity of the Chinese will even make this matter more complicated, such as seeing the US imperialism's invasion of user privacy as a slander against Huaxia......

"Not for the time being, but ......" Chen Wen

"Tell me to go down and pay attention to the response. "Zhou Shi, in the face of possible public opinion turmoil, after experiencing many things, they have a lot of experience.

"Well, but do we stay in India or go back to Silicon Valley now?"

"Let's go back!" Zhou Shi, now that Si Ruoden is gone, he is much more relieved.

These days, several Internet giants, including Yahoo, have been subjected to unprecedented boycotts, and user privacy is a sensitive string in Western countries. Although this is more of a formal concern, but in fact there is nothing they can do, it does not prevent them from using this as an excuse to apply for several major Internet companies.

"Does this matter have anything to do with us?" Zhou Shi asked at a company meeting

"Our problem is not big, and the biggest impact is the American court!" Chen Shouzong

Of course, Zhou Shi knew that Yahoo was not clean in this matter, after all, it was impossible for him to violate the laws of the United States, and Microsoft, Google, F&F and other companies were involved, and Yahoo was just one of them.

"What we can do is try to downplay the impact of this and then shift the blame to the U.S. court!" Mayer

The Prism Gate scandal was the largest surveillance incident in U.S. history, and the NSA used the data collected to analyze the "social connections" of some U.S. citizens and identify private information such as who they were communicating with, where they were at a particular time, and who they were traveling with. Previously, these were only for foreigners. And in Fallon's documents, Zhou Shi is the focus of the US Security Agency's surveillance.

In 2011, new media, represented by Facebook and Twitter, ran through Egypt as the North African crisis brewed, erupted, escalated and turned into a turning point, becoming a "catalyst" for the development of the Araba Spring events and an "amplifier" for opposition forces. As the well-deserved king of global social networks, Zhou Shi has too many reasons to be monitored.

"Now our focus is on reacting to the US government spying on Simon, who is Yahoo's largest shareholder, chairman, and one of the world's top billionaires, philanthropists, and there is no reason to be so monitored!" said Chen

"That's right, Simon is now a symbol of Yahoo, we can't let them continue to do anything, and judging by Yahoo, you should be sure that Simon can't do anything to harm the United States. Their worries are too boring!" Morse

"It's okay, I'll also make some responses, and by the way, let Yahoo get out of this turmoil!" Zhou Shi was not surprised by the monitoring of the United States, but it did not mean that he could accept it calmly.

The public erupted in great indignation at the surveillance of the US imperial court, and there were a lot of demonstrations, and Ao Guanhai also officially responded, affirming the authenticity of the incident, saying that his purpose was to prevent terrorist attacks.

Although Zhou Shi is the world's top richest man, who cares about the privacy of a foreigner, knowing that this time to be interviewed will not have much effect, but he still has to express his attitude as soon as possible.

"I don't know what grounds the U.S. court thinks I'm a threat to the United States, is it my wealth or my business? Why did I sell Twitter and friends, and why can't I reassure the White House? Is it because I haven't cooperated with the Department of Defense's Prism Gate program? Should I cooperate more with the U.S. Department of Defense to avoid more persecution, or should the U.S. not welcome entrepreneurs from China?" Zhou Shi said in the interview, forcibly whitewashing himself and Yahoo.

"So you didn't cooperate with the U.S. Department of Defense, did you cooperate with the Huaxia Ministry of Defense?" a reporter asked

"Do you think that under such strict surveillance, I have the ability to do it, don't forget that although I am a major shareholder of Yahoo, most of the specific managers are Americans, you say this, do you think that the Americans working at Yahoo will betray the United States? Besides, most of my wealth is in the United States, and you think I will risk losing all my wealth and do things that violate American law? In fact, I am more worried that they have a financial purpose in monitoring me, such as leaking my news to Yahoo's competitors!" Zhou Shi
