[ti:Surveillance Software Key Concern at Internet Governance Meeting] [ar:Jonathan Evans] [al:Technology Report] [00:00.00]From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report. [00:05.42]The Internet Governance Forum [00:08.41]took place in Istanbul, Turkey. [00:11.49]The United Nations provided support to the yearly conference. [00:16.14]Delegates expressed concern [00:19.36]about the growth of companies [00:21.61]selling powerful Internet surveillance software. [00:24.88]Some software programs can collect information [00:29.16]about individuals around the world. [00:32.01]Many of these people are private citizens. [00:35.83]The surveillance software industry [00:39.11]is worth billions of dollars. [00:42.18]Yet some experts say making laws [00:45.82]to govern the use of such products [00:48.34]is proving difficult. [00:50.24]Gregoire Pouget is with the group [00:53.16]Reporters Without Borders. [00:58.67]He believes there is a need for new laws [01:01.69]and other regulations in the industry. [01:04.52]He says surveillance software [01:08.23]can be used to spy on journalists, bloggers [01:10.92]and other people who use the Internet. [01:11.44]Laura Tresca was the Brazilian representative [01:15.62]of an organization called Article 19. [01:18.98]It fights against unlawful censorship, [01:22.40]the banning of reports or other things [01:25.45]thought to be offensive. [01:27.07]Ms. Tresca said Latin America [01:30.55]is becoming a big market [01:32.71]for the surveillance software industry. [01:35.43]She said Brazil spent nearly $200 million [01:40.55]on surveillance software products [01:43.03]in the past four years. [01:45.21]She notes that Brazilian officials said [01:48.43]the technology was supposed to help [01:50.90]protect the country during the 2014 World Cup competition. [01:55.74]But, in her words, [01:57.62]"this software was used to monitor activists [02:01.48]to avoid protests." [02:03.55]Scott Busby is with the Department of State in Washington. [02:09.17]He says the laws used to control the weapons industry [02:14.08]also control the use of surveillance software. [02:18.36]"It's an issue of great concern to us, [02:20.60]not only because some of the companies [02:23.28]doing this are American companies. [02:24.58]But I would point out [02:26.17]that the issue is being addressed [02:27.90]under the VASNA arrangement, [02:29.56]for the non-proliferation of dangerous items. [02:33.54]It formerly dealt with weapons, [02:34.95]and now it's looking at surveillance technologies." [02:37.23]But experts and activists say surveillance software [02:41.56]is very different from weapons. [02:43.86]They say the surveillance software industry [02:47.15]will need special laws. [02:49.31]Silvia Grundmann is head of media [02:53.13]for the Council of Europe rights group. [02:55.79]She says European businesses are among the leaders [03:00.25]in the surveillance software industry. [03:02.91]She adds that finding the balance between human rights, [03:07.64]the Internet and trade takes a lot of time. [03:11.68]But Gregoire Pouget says [03:13.93]countries need stronger surveillance technology laws now. [03:18.42]Mr. Pouget says the high cost of the software programs [03:23.60]means only a few countries are able to buy it. [03:27.38]But he says in only a few years, [03:31.01]the cost of surveillance software will lower sharply. [03:35.04]When that happens, [03:36.77]Mr. Pouget believes large companies [03:39.70]and even wealthy individuals will buy the software. [03:43.93]Experts worry that increased surveillance of citizens [03:48.33]around the world [03:49.91]will end a person's sense of privacy.

參會(huì)代表們對(duì)強(qiáng)大的監(jiān)控軟件的銷售業(yè)績(jī)的增長(zhǎng)表示擔(dān)憂，一些軟件程序可以收集到世界各地人們的個(gè)人信息。其中很多人都是普通公民。
The surveillance software industry is worth billions of dollars. Yet some experts say making laws to govern the use of such products is proving difficult.
監(jiān)測(cè)軟件行業(yè)總價(jià)值為數(shù)十億美元，然而一些專家表示，讓法律來(lái)監(jiān)管這些軟件的使用是很困難的。
Gregoire Pouget is with the group Reporters Without Borders. He believes there is a need for new laws and other regulations in the industry. He says surveillance software can be used to spy on journalists, bloggers and other people who use the Internet.

She said Brazil spent nearly $200 million on surveillance software products in the past four years. She notes that Brazilian officials said the technology was supposed to help protect the country during the 2014 World Cup competition. But, in her words, "this software was used to monitor activists to avoid protests."
她稱，巴西在過(guò)去4年里，在監(jiān)控軟件產(chǎn)品上耗資近2億美元。并指出，巴西官員稱該技術(shù)本應(yīng)該在2014年世界杯比賽期間幫助保護(hù)該國(guó)，而用該官員的話來(lái)說(shuō)就是，“該軟件用于監(jiān)控活動(dòng)人士以避免抗議活動(dòng)。”
Scott Busby is with the Department of State in Washington. He says the laws used to control the weapons industry also control the use of surveillance software.
在美國(guó)華盛頓國(guó)務(wù)院任職的斯科特·巴斯比稱，用于管理武器行業(yè)的法律也管理著監(jiān)控軟件的使用。

But I would point out that the issue is being addressed under the VASNA arrangement, for the non-proliferation of dangerous items. It formerly dealt with weapons, and now it's looking at surveillance technologies."
“這是我們十分關(guān)注的一個(gè)問(wèn)題，不僅因?yàn)檎谶@樣做的一些公司是美國(guó)公司。但我想指出的是，這個(gè)問(wèn)題正處在VASNA協(xié)議下（對(duì)于危險(xiǎn)物品，不能擴(kuò)散）被解決的過(guò)程中。這原來(lái)是用于處理武器問(wèn)題的協(xié)議，現(xiàn)在該協(xié)議正著眼于監(jiān)控技術(shù)。”
But experts and activists say surveillance software is very different from weapons. They say the surveillance software industry will need special laws.
但是專家和活動(dòng)人士稱，監(jiān)測(cè)軟件與武器非常不同。他們稱，監(jiān)控軟件行業(yè)需要特殊的法律來(lái)管理。

Mr. Pouget says the high cost of the software programs means only a few countries are able to buy it. But he says in only a few years, the cost of surveillance software will lower sharply. When that happens, Mr. Pouget believes large companies and even wealthy individuals will buy the software. Experts worry that increased surveillance of citizens around the world will end a person's sense of privacy.
普吉特先生稱，軟件程序的高成本意味著只有少數(shù)幾個(gè)國(guó)家有能力購(gòu)買。但是他稱，該監(jiān)控軟件的成本在未來(lái)短短幾年內(nèi)將會(huì)大幅下降。普吉特先生認(rèn)為，當(dāng)這種情況發(fā)生時(shí)，大公司甚至是富人都會(huì)購(gòu)買這種軟件。專家擔(dān)心，對(duì)世界各地公民監(jiān)控的增強(qiáng)將會(huì)消滅個(gè)人的隱私感。
