Possible Government Surveillance of the Otter.ai Transcription App
2022-02-17 16:40

A reporter interviews a Uyghur human-rights advocate, and uses the Otter.

Ai, the automated transcription app that I had used to record the interview.

It read: "Hey Phelim, to help us improve your Otter's experience, what was the purpose of this particular recording with titled 'Mustafa Aksu' created at '2021-11-08 11:02:41'?".

Customer service or Chinese surveillance? Turns out it's hard to tell.
