It turns out that a Hong Kong internet service provider was blocked from connecting to a website that contained personal information such as police officers' addresses and phone numbers at the request of the Hong Kong National Security Law. ..
This is the first time that Internet regulations under this law have been revealed.
Hong Kong Internet connection service provider "Hong Kong Kantai" announced on the 14th that it has blocked the connection to the website where the protesters and others were writing.
It is said that the measure was requested based on the provisions of the Hong Kong National Security Law to crack down on anti-government movements, and it is believed that the police ordered it.
In addition to information on protests against the government, the site contained personal information such as the addresses, phone numbers, and family photos of more than 1,000 people, including police officers, politicians who support the government, and senior government officials. ..
The Hong Kong National Security Law, which came into force at the end of June last year, stipulates that police can ask service providers to remove information or cooperate in relation to criminal cases that endanger national security.
This is the first time it has been revealed that this provision has been applied, and there is growing concern among citizens that Internet regulation may increase in Hong Kong as well as in mainland China, where information is strictly regulated.
