To all my Hongkong friends:

I’m sorry.
The world has failed you.

@mono_toy which?

@mikeduncan fire and water

earth and air

From local artist Kit Man - "subverting the state with white paper". Protesters that held a blank placard protest yesterday were warned of breaching the new national security law. One comment asks, "is the state made of tofu?"

ByteDance in Hong Kong today, after the National Security Law.

It’s happening fast. Starting today #NSL is being used to pressure TW officials in HK into turning over information on politically prosecuted HKers. #Taiwan will lock arms and resist this, we stand with HK on the front lines. Democratic countries must stand for our shared values.

As details of new internet controls for Hong Kong emerge, the city is becoming a front line for a global fight over digital rights and internet freedoms. For now American tech cos have circled the wagons, but the new law could imprison tech employees. https://t.co/V0iZOTxGzQ

It’s important to be aware just how much data is connected to you and your devices.

And to Act with that awareness.

Digital Privacy and Security is hard.
But every step you take, makes it harder for them.

Don’t be discouraged.

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

The best way to protect your data, is to not even have any.

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

Be aware of just how much Metadata your devices leak.

Use TOR or trusted vpns 100% of the time.
Delete apps you don’t need.

Security Mantra: Less is more.

HONG KONG LEADER CARRIE LAM SAYS NATIONAL SECURITY LAW STRIPS ALL BASIC RIGHTS HKERS ENJOYS AND WE CAN JUST SUCK IT

"Singaporeans constantly measure themselves against global best practice. Their system has some authoritarian features, but it is predictable...By contrast, the Chinese system is unpredictable and based on the unrestrained power and authority of the CCP"

Reassuring statement for journalists in HK from @antd "There is no legal advice HK lawyers can give you" on the national security law.

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Rozncrantz what was in the tweet?

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan it’s hard to keep up with it all, it’s just too much too fast, people I know are in a lot of danger

It’s just overwhelming, so a list like this really helps

thank you

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan yes, it will be very useful, thanks for making this!

The law (in Hk) is comparable to the infinity gauntlet.
Their wielders have absolut power.

What happens next will be very important.

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan 😅

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan Yes of course, sorry for tagging that on

Relevant could be that people holding up blank pieces of paper were found in violation of the NSL by HKPF.

Same goes for yellow restaurants with empty post-it-notes.

the next few weeks will probably have a lot more tragedy

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan not direct effects yet, but it sets a very clear picture that the court and legal protections in HK no longer apply and that you can be “extradited” to the mainland.

[GermanHermit @German_Hermit]

@Whitey_chan People arrested by Chinese agents in HK can be tried in mainland china.

The head of the liason office in Hk sits on the NS Committee.

The committee and the agents are above Hk law and cannot be challenged.

The NSL applies to everyone in the world
