We warned ⁦@GOVUK⁩ about the risks of data sharing like this years ago. It’s not just financial information, either. We were told (unverified) that ⁦@UKinHongKong⁩ was sharing NRM data. Can we pls stop aiding the persecution of dissidents? https://t.co/v6MF8tYVv8

Before @fcchk gets a statement out:
1. Consult lawyers
2. Reach out to govt departments for dialogue
3. Have a three-quarter majority approval in board

What if the govt doesn’t respond

Interesting! The #hongkong #director #KiwiChow used my images without asking for permission in the poster of his #awarded film #Revolutionofourtimes. I wonder if he uses any non-permission images/video clips or songs in his other film #beyondthedream 🤔
