Ron Deibert is the director of Citizen Lab, based out of the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs. The questions centred on WeChat's policies and how it shares and uses international users' data. "We would send the politically sensitive image entirely amongst international users.

"But the WeChat China context is completely different in terms of the multiplicity of potential uses of your information."
