San Francisco For decades, Silicon Valley giants shut out of China by the country's massive censorship apparatus have continued to operate in Hong Kong thanks to the city's unique political status that guaranteed it a free internet.
But a new law that gives Hong Kong authorities sweeping powers to regulate online content could put those companies on a collision course with that censorship mechanism, known as the Great Firewall — and potentially force them out of Hong Kong altogether. Under the national security law that went into effect last week, Hong Kong police can demand that online platforms and network providers take down content deemed a threat to China's security or restrict access to their services.
The NationalSecurityLaw gives the Hong Kong Government infinite power to restrict HK freedom. Censorship of online content is only the tip of the iceberg.
Totalitarian China will never let HongKong have freedom and democracy. The NationalSecurityLaw is the best example! International community should be united and against this totalitarian regime! StandWithHongKong SanctionChina
Over the past year, HongKongers have attended an advanced political course on authoritarian rule. We can see through all facade of political oppression, PoliceBrutality, security law, white terror, torture, tear gas, sexual assault, indiscriminate arrests and prosecution...
I hope it would not be my last time to comment here HongKongers are still resisting, Hope you could keep StandWithHongKong and call your govt taking actions
Nothing would happen after the extradition treaty was cancelled, but...
I know countries in Europe which gladly will offer them space and help
No way! We must not let HongKongners leave alone!
