If you found this article interesting and are curious for examples of North Korea’s extensive digital surveillance, I recommend watching “Florian Grunow, Niklaus Schiess: Lifting the Fog on Red Star OS”: ▶ this video The depths to which North Korea goes to track and monitor its citizens is a lot more complex than I thought (and this video is from 6 years ago, so they’ve probably only improved their surveillance)
Florian Grunow and Niklaus Schiess, Lifting the Fog on Red Star OS - A deep dive into the surveillance features of North Korea's operating system [1] [1] - ▶ this video The bit more detailed view, I'd say

A bit older but quite relevant and entertaining; "Florian Grunow, Niklaus Schiess: Lifting the Fog on Red Star OS", from the 2015 Chaos Computer Congress. ▶ this video
Interesting note on Red Star OS: They appear to have a watermarking system allowing them to track how files move between people. ▶ this video Previous discussion: link
