Meanwhile, a black market has stealthily taken shape — facial data are being sold online and, in one case, 30,000 facial photos were sold at a cost of only RMB 8 (around NT$34), according to Chinese media.
同時，根據中國媒體的報導，臉部數據黑市正悄然成形——有人在網路上販售臉部數據，有的甚至以8元人民幣（約新台幣34元）的價格，兜售3萬張臉部照片。

Beijing News uncovered numerous online platforms where people were selling face photos, and the prices were mostly around RMB 10-20 (NT$45-90).
《新京報》發現人們在許多網路平台上出售人臉照片，價格大多落在10到20人民幣（新台幣45到90元）左右。
One seller even boasted that customers could “buy 500 photos sourced from 60 volunteers, totaling 30,000 images, for only RMB 8.”
一位賣家甚至吹噓客戶可以「用8元購買60名志願者每人500張照片，共計3萬張」。

Buyers could potentially use the facial data they acquire to forge identities and commit fraud, such as hacking into smartphone users’ micropayment accounts, as many Chinese Internet users tend to choose facial recognition as their authentication method.
買家可能會使用購得的臉部數據來偽造身份，進行詐欺，例如入侵智慧型手機用戶的小額付款帳戶，因為有許多中國用戶會選擇臉部辨識作為身份驗證的方法。

On December 1, the Chinese government introduced a new law that requires all new customers registering mobile phone numbers to have their faces scanned.

Before the new rule came into force, people registering for mobile phone services had only to provide a copy of their ID card.

China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology claims the new rule will help to stem the resale of SIM cards and reduce the risk of fraud.

However, critics say it’s just another instance of the Chinese government stepping up surveillance of its citizens.
不過，批評者指出，這只不過是中國政府加強對人民監控的另一個例子，
step up 加強=increase=strengthen=intensify=escalate
The authorities have been monitoring the public, particularly ethnic minorities and people of faith, with surveillance cameras equipped with facial recognition technology installed everywhere on the streets and even in people’s homes.
因為中國當局對人民的監控，特別是少數民族和特定信仰人士，可說是無孔不入，在大街小巷，甚至在人民的家中，都安裝有搭載臉部辨識技術的監視攝影機。
