Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube all operate freely in Hong Kong. The question is: For how much longer? For the U.S. tech giants, a delicate dilemma if authorities ask them to delete user accounts or their content.@newley @evawxiaohttps://t.co/RghIcm8Amb

Facebook, Twitter, Google Face Free-Speech Test in Hong Kong

New national-security law means authorities can ask companies to delete users or their content https://t.co/A2DZ8GFZlc
Will they stand their ground or give in? Facebook, Twitter and Google are up against a new test of their free-speech credentials in Hong Kong. If past history with China is any indication, it's not encouraging https://t.co/Xxy11mkNzW @evawxiao @newley #china #hongkong #freespeech

The “stiff penalties that might be imposed will almost certainly discourage publicly sharing such views.” https://t.co/yeoDK70t0q

Hong Kong police have been given “unfettered power” to compel internet companies to provide information in national security cases.
— Jerome Taylor (@JeromeTaylor) July 3, 2020
That means companies like @Facebook, @Twitter and @Google are going to have to decide whether they cooperate or not

Hong Kong police have been given “unfettered" power to force internet companies to provide info in national security cases. This has huge implications for @Facebook @Twitter and others - essential platforms over the years for those advocating freedoms.https://t.co/fczPsCtQOQ

Via HK now we know the real CCP mission/purpose. Kill freedom. China is a madhouse controlled by 90 mils of paranoid imbeciles. Xi is naked in HK. Disgusting caveman. Hong Kong national security law puts Facebook, Twitter under pressure https://t.co/mE3DR45QqO via @scmpnews

The Hong Kong police no longer require a court order to lean on tech companies to take down material or to cooperate. The rule of law has been eviscerated in Hong Kong. https://t.co/Q7VKRtnh0O

Under the #NationalSecurityLaw, Hong Kong police no longer have to seek court orders before requiring internet users or “relevant service providers” — believed to cover social media platforms & firms — to remove info or help w/an investigation.https://t.co/xBEqHR8wEf

We must ask Twitter (FB and other social media too) what they’d do in a Li Wen Liang scenario: if someone tweets about a virus outbreak and HK Police / Government demands it be removed, will Twitter comply (= collude in the coverup) or will it say no? https://t.co/62TfbEzj9V
