Norway’s industry minister said the government would be unable to stop a transfer of state-owned Telenor’s metadata that belongs to 18 million Myanmar customers, Reuters reports. In response to a military coup in Myanmar last year, Telenor opted to sell its Myanmar operation to a local cellular provider amid "continued pressure" from the junta to activate intercept surveillance technology. Human rights groups have called on Telenor stop the sale or delete the data, but the company said doing either would endanger employees who work inside Myanmar.
