Use SNS to call for demonstrations
SNS is used as a means of communication when young people who continue protests call for demonstrations.
Among them, the smartphone communication app “Telegram” developed by Russian entrepreneurs is widely used.
It is said that confidentiality is high because communication contents can be sent and received encrypted, and it is said that it is difficult for the authorities to monitor.
According to Hong Kong media, tens of thousands of telegram chat groups are registered, and there are no specific leaders in protests. Various exchanges such as how to protect are exchanged.
“This protest is characterized by the fact that people are connected on the Internet in a guerrilla way, and this frustration was caused by the“ Umbrella Movement ”five years ago. "The lesson shows that young people are using various tools."
The Hong Kong government and the Chinese government appear to be increasingly wary of such SNS exchanges.
Telegram revealed in June that a series of protests were in full swing, and in June it was revealed that somebody had been subjected to a cyber attack that sent large amounts of data. Chinese authorities have reportedly launched an attack to counter protests.
