Police confiscate speaker and issue “gathering ban” tickets at Protest against Health Code and Mass Surveillance
The Hong Kong SAR government has established a laboratory run by China-owned Beijing Genomics Institute (#BGI) at Hong Kong's Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park for universal voluntary Covid-19 testing without consultation from the public and requested private clinics assisting sample collection.
Neo Democrats members of Roy Tam Hoi-pong and Gary Fan Kwok-wai and Central and Western District lawmaker of Napo Wong Weng-Chi protested outside the stadium on August 16, 2020.
More than 30 police on the scene issued tickets for violation of “group gathering ban” and confiscated the speaker.
District Councilor Roy Tam stated civilians may lose confidence in private clinics if samples are passed to the China-owned companies for Covid-19 testing. He urged private doctors not to join the plan and criticised that the government ingratiated the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) by sacrificing Hong Kongers.
The pro-Beijing camp has not only promoted the “Hong Kong Heath QR Code” system, but has also proposed only allowing those with the green “Heath QR code” to dine-in at restaurants. Gary Fan challenged that the reason behind this wired policy is for surveillance to restrict civilians’ freedom of movement.

Health experts slam Health Code in public places unnecessary
In Hong Kong, Beijing loyalists have been urging the government to launch a Health Code system to monitor entrance of eateries and shopping malls, several experts rebuked, calling it a fallacy of concept.
In a radio interview on August 14, Professor David Hui Shu-Cheong, Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics in Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), expressed that although the #COVID19 coronavirus continued to spread in Hong Kong with tens of cases confirmed every day, and some sources of these cases remained unknown, launching a Health Code in public places at this moment is unnecessary.
He blatantly called such recommendation a distortion of concept. Hui pointed out that Health Code is only a short-term measure to screen out carriers of coronavirus at the border, so that border control can be relaxed once when the outbreak is put under control.
It is neither an effective means to boost consumption nor a tool to save local economy. Hui clarified that the expert team on epidemic prevention, in which he is a member, has never discussed this issue in their meetings with the government.
Hui also expressed that testing period for Health Code has been continually shortened from every 14 days to 7 day, 3 days and most recently to every day for cross-border drivers in China, showing that usage of Health Code is not for local population, but a temporary arrangement for cross-border communication.
Dr Joseph Tseng Kay Yan, a specialist in Infectious Disease said in another radio program that Health Code might give citizens a wrong impression that having a clean Health Code pass, they are free to “go everywhere” .

許樹昌指使用健康碼到食肆消費概念不正確
對於有建議推出香港版健康碼，讓巿民憑這個健康碼可出入食肆商場等消費，政府專家顧問、中大呼吸系統科講座教授許樹昌認為，建議不太適用。 許樹昌於一個電台節目時表示，本港新型肺炎確診數字每日仍然有雙位數，很大比例是來源不明，於疫情仍然嚴重時，使用健康碼到食肆消費，概念不正確，因為健康碼是在疫情穩定時，想通關的臨時措施，以證明無確診下過境時用，並非用作消費，現時不宜用這模式試圖挽救經濟，專家小組會議亦無討論有關問題。 許樹昌說，內地健康碼的期限已逐步縮短，最初中港司機14天一次檢測，之後變成7日其後3日，近期變…

Dismissing Privacy Concern, HK Gov't Insists in Carrying Out Universal Test and Health Code
The Chief Executive Carrie Lam on August 21 urged Hongkongers to take part in the COVID19 test run by the Chinese companies appointed by the HK government from September 1 onwards. Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip reassured that information will "not be sent outside of Hong Kong".
Despite public concern over data collection and privacy, Lam said that the government will implement a health code plan to exempt qualified Hong Kong-China travellers from quarantine restrictions, similar to what China had already installed in Macau and Guangdong.
Secretary for Innovation and Technology Alfred Sit dismissed privacy concern. He stated that the health code users will have to acknowledge that they 'agree' to have their data sent to their destination, i.e. the Chinese authorities, if travelling to China.
Meanwhile, microbiologist Ho Pak-leung, head of the University of Hong Kong's Centre for Infection, has doubt in universal COVID-19 testing. He called it "a waste of bullets" if people with higher risk of infection are not tested.
Ho suggested to test all patients in public hospitals, and carry out repeated tests for elderly home workers and frontline medical staff, instead.

Universal tests like wasting bullets: Ho Pak-leung

Liberal Democratic Party Proposal on Restricting the Use as early as September
Followed by the ban on the use of TikTok in India and the request from the U.S. on the parent company of TikTok for selling the local business of ByteDance, the Ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s Tax Panel Chief of Japan Akira Amari, said that Japan should not ignore the data security risks from the use of TikTok.
During the interview on Fuji Television Network on Aug 16, Amari pointed that other countries such as the United Kingdom, India and the U.S. are aware of the data security risks of TikTok, which the Japanese government should not ignore. “Japan cannot just stand beside and watch because many countries have pointed out the risks,” he said.
Amari added, Japanese companies should assume that partnerships with Chinese firms would lead to data leakage. If Japan compromised on data security, other countries, who supported freedom, democracy and the rule of law, might rule out Japan, which posed a crisis to Japan. “Japan is the country with the least sense of crisis,” said Amari.

P&G Researched New Technology with Chinese Traders to Bypass Apple’s Privacy Policy, Tracking iPhone User Data
Wall Street Journal quoted from sources that large consumer goods group, P&G, participates in developing a new technology to bypass Apple’s new privacy policy to collect iPhone user data for targeting advertisement. That technology is testing in China.
Compare to television and street advertising in the past, advertisers and merchants have sent out some targeted advertisements to attract consumers by collecting and analysing usage habits and preferences of users for ten years to increase marketing effectiveness. As the public cares more about personal privacy in recent years, some technology companies also tighten the policy to protect user’s privacy.
However, similar policies cannot stop enterprises from providing such targeted advertisements. Wall Street Journal stated that US multinational consumer goods leading enterprise P&G, multinational accounting companies Deloitte and PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, and market research company Nielson are all participating in the new technology development to bypass Apple’s existing privacy policy which limits the collection of user's data.
