Leak of Geedge Networks internal documents (100,000+ from Jira, Confluence, GitLab)

We have discussed the Chinese company [Geedge Networks](https://www.geedgenetworks.com/) (积至). Last year, there was the news that [Geedge had provided equipment for VPN blocking in Myanmar](https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/369#issuecomment-2195258977). One of the founders of the company is [方滨兴 (Fang Binxing)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fang_Binxing), the famous "father of the Great Firewall". Another Geedge principal, [郑超 (Zheng Chao)](https://github.com/net4people/bbs/issues/369#issuecomment-2195455424), is a coauthor of censorship-related research papers we have discussed: #275, #282, #444. Today, there are many news articles and reports about a leak of Geedge Networks internal documents, including from Jira (bug tracker), Confluence (wiki), and GitLab (source code). They say that several news organizations and technologists have worked together for a year to analyze the documents. This is the primary reporting from the people who worked directly with the documents, as best as I have been able to determine: * *The Globe and Mail*: [Leaked files show a Chinese company is exporting the Great Firewall's censorship technology](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-leaked-files-show-a-chinese-company-is-exporting-the-great-firewalls/) ([archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20250909115204/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-leaked-files-show-a-chinese-company-is-exporting-the-great-firewalls/)) * *Der Standard*: [Wie China seine Totalüberwachung de
