A 32C3 talk dissecting Red Star OS, North Korea's state-built operating system. The speakers explain its internals and how it invades users' privacy, including file watermarking.
HN points to it as a deep dive into the surveillance features of North Korea's OS and the extent of that state's digital tracking.

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]
