Are our networks secure if the Hong Kong Government could freely enter data centres?
 
Background: The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) does not accept conditions where the tenant has the right to refuse entry by the landlord. According to the lease, the landlord has the right to review, record and even remove a tenant's facilities for security reasons. To draw a comparison, this is like hotel staff being able to enter your rented hotel room anytime with no regard for the guest's privacy. According to the verdict, some landlords entered a tenant's space nearly 200 times in the span of a few months.
 
This system of allowing landlords to freely enter is ridiculous and puts tenants' digital security and commercial privacy at risk. In Singapore, the government and other agencies could only enter data centres if they apply for a search warrant under suspicion of illegal activity.
