I meant the headline of the Hacker News post, not the headline of the article. The original Hacker News post headline was "China forces its Muslim minority to install spyware on their phones", which is incorrect in the sense it implies that China is forcing all its Muslims to install spyway on their phones.

That's the same as the headline on the article itself.

The article headline is slightly different: it's:

"China's forcing citizens in Muslim-majority region to install spyware on their phones"

Note the "Muslim-majority region", which was missing from the original HN title.

Could we please get a copy of the apk? I feel we need a multi-pronged defense against such technologies: * Fake app, so people can pass a manual inspection of their device * Fake dataset, to feed so many false positives into their database it makes it time-cost prohibitive to investigate * Conflicting dataset - Duplicate MD5 strings matching 'bad' and 'good' files; may corrupt internal databases or provide plausible…

I downloaded it and decompiled it here, if anyone wants to take a look: https://mirrors.asun.co/chinese-spyware/

So the QR code linked to - http://47.93.5.238:8081/APP/GA_AJ_JK/GA_AJ_JK_GXH.apk?AJLY=6...

Worst game ever. Is it just OK and Cancel? then it seems to do nothing?

Going up to http://47.93.5.238:8081/APP/ there are two other apk's [GT - "Download the security security project" "Download the public security project" ]

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Muslims—and everyone rejoiced in their unity of hating them together.

people don't enjoy getting run over en masse by trucks or having their children decapitated by 'enthusiastic' religious adherents.

I don't think it's that so much as they don't like seeing their cultures eroded by another that is demonstrably worse.

Thanks for clearing up this mystery. Yeah, to me the original article headline was just fine. I think there is a bit of a problem when HN users change headlines when posting articles...cutting even a little bit can change the meaning significantly.

It seems that mashable changed their headline, because I get "China’s forcing citizens in Muslim-majority region to install spyware on their phones" when I visit what appears to be a cached crawler copy at http://www.pipiscrew.com/2017/07/chinas-forcing-citizens-in-... but when I visit the article itself, I see a different headline.

was the uk acquisition of northern ireland legit - even though they 'bussed in' a bunch of brits to vote for it?

that is an interesting question. I actually don't think majority voting should be the final arbiter for the legitimacy of a government.

With your last line, I then have to hope they eventually came for 'everyone.'

The original ends like "and then they came for me and because I did not speak up before there was no one to speak up for me"

Then they came for the Infidels -- and Allah and his messenger were glorified when the Fitnah were no more.

There should be more coverage about that both Muslim religious law and practical law in Muslim societies is heavily racist, sexist, in open conflict with human rights, and that's being flexible. In theory, well islam was created by a warlord in a conflict where he committed a dozen genocides, religious and ethnic. It's bad. Very very disgustingly bad.

I don't understand why this isn't seen as a serious problem.
