The rapid decline of press freedom in #HongKong. Hong Kong ousts Economist journalist Sue-Lin Wong without explanation, in latest blow to press freedom https://hongkongfp.com/2021/11/13/hong-kong-ousts-economist-journalist-sue-lin-wong-without-explanation…
#HK has denied a work visa for a journalist from Economist. It's no surprised that the #HKGov has become more like a Gov't in China. However, driving journalist out of the city also means that they are trying to cast away anything that can keep them in check. Without foreign journalists, it is possible for HK to become the next North Korea. Their next move to transform the city is what's worrisome.

#AppleDaily has been murdered for several months. The gap it left in #HongKong has been deeply felt. How was it like working for such a controversial media? How is like for their former staff now? Watch this #NHK documentary to find out.

More absurd charges against journalists. Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai and ex-Apple Daily journalists face additional charge over 'seditious publications' https://hongkongfp.com/2021/12/28/hong-kong-media-tycoon-jimmy-lai-and-ex-apple-daily-journalists…
#JimmyLai & 6 other people are now facing with more charges for publishing a newspaper.
This is part of #ccppropaganda to threaten #HongKongers not to speak against the #CCP.
It's no coincidence that they are now facing more charges right after everything about #tiananmansquaremassacre being removed from 3 different universities. It's all part of the undertaking to demolish #freedomofspeech in #HongKong.

Wow. Hong Kong puppet gov is considering ban on Telegram. Freedom of speech is further dismantled. China’s internet control coming to Hong Kong https://www.rfa.org/cantonese/news/htm/hk-tg-05172022054009.html
#HKGov wants to further undermine #freedomofspeech. This time they are using privacy as an excuse to ban telegram, a messenger that is famous for protecting users' privacy.

【網絡長城】因應「起底」情況仍然猖獗 港府或考慮「封鎖」Telegram
香港「網絡長城」的築建持續。個人資料私隱專員鍾麗玲周一（16日）在立法會一個委員會透露，因應新修訂《私隱條例》將「起底刑事化」實施半年來「仍舊猖獗」，透露正考慮就屢次上載「起底」資料的平台設立黑名單，尤其針對是屢警告不改的海外平台。親中港媒《星島日報》引消息指，當局關注近年絕大部分的起底訊息，是來自市民常用的即時通訊軟體Telegram，公署正研究「封鎖」相關平台。

This is not a post recounting the details of the #UmbrellaRevolution so much as what it stood for and how it informed the #fightforfreedom in #HongKong. For years, #HKers had been struggling to defend our rights and values from the #CCP. The #UmbrellaMovement in 2014 was for many an awakening to the root cause of the social problems in #HK - the lack of a popularly mandated government as ours was (and is) but a #Beijing puppet.

The experience of 2014 produced the now much more mainstream indigenous ideology and inspired new protest tactics in 2019. Hong Kong has never stopped evolving to cope with challenges and does not intend to stop now. "Be water", the city-wide pro-democracy movement in 2019 taught us, even though it may be dark and the suffering ahead seem endless, don't lose heart. We will remember who we are, what we stand for, persevere and outlive the tyrant.

Hong Kong Protest anthem "Glory to Hong Kong" dominated all top 10 spots of iTunes as HK Gov't seeked to ban the song on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice seeks to ban the song from broadcasting, performing, printing, publishing, displaying or reproducing. If it is banned, it will be the 1st song that is banned in Hong Kong. However, many questions how it will be executed. All variation of "Glory to Hong Kong" are uploaded oversea, where HKGov has no jurisdiction. The song will only be banned unless internet providers, such as Google, compromised.
However, many worried that this may be the 1st step for Hong Kong to build a firewall similar to the one mainland China has. This would significantly deteriorate freedom which is already much worsen since 2019.

Chef Executive of Hong Kong, John Lee, announces plans to establish a 'Response and Rebuttal Team' in response to online disinformation. This move raises concerns about government control over information. Possible forms of the team include a government 'Ministry of Truth' to determine facts, a dedicated website for countering foreign and local opinions, or a large-scale online army. The implications for freedom of speech and collaboration with national security agencies are worrisome. The naming choice of the team reflects the leadership's questionable thinking and intelligence.

Hong Kong Security Bureau Chief Tang Ping-keung continues to accuse Ted Hui and Chris Patten, but fails to acknowledge that the proposed Article 23 legislation could further undermine freedom in Hong Kong. Despite concerns raised by critics, Tang maintains that the bill is aimed at safeguarding press freedom and freedom of speech. However, many remain skeptical about the potential implications of this legislation on Hong Kong's cherished values of liberty and autonomy.

In Hong Kong, Security Chief Tang's intrusion into press freedom sparks worry as truth-telling writers face warnings to 'tread carefully.' Tang cautions media editors against publishing anti-government pieces, stressing writers' accountability. Ming Pao's chief editor also advises columnists to exercise caution amid hints of looming crises. These events unfolded recently, prompting netizens to draw parallels between these warnings and underworld 'watch your step' advice, reminiscent of gangster-like directives. #HongKong #FreedomOfSpeech #MediaScrutiny
