We already knew China kept a close eye on its population, monitoring everything from their spending habits to their social interactions.

Now we know someone in the nation is also tracking which female citizens are “breedready,” a term apparently used to signal that a woman is likely able to have children — and the disturbing data is not being protected the way it should be.

Victor Gevers is an internet expert for the GDI Foundation, a non-profit focused on defending internet freedom. On Saturday, he tweeted a series of screenshots of a creepy list he discovered while looking at open Chinese databases.
