Phila Siu / South China Morning Post : Tweets: @hongkonghermit , @kenroth , @fabiochiusi , and @jerometaylor Tweets: Hong Kong Hermit / @hongkonghermit : A key part of this article is how if these demands are made of companies based overseas, it would be the international HQ that has to decide if it wants to sell Hongkongers down the river. https://twitter.com/... Kenneth Roth / @kenroth : Hong Kong was the only place in China where Twitter and Facebook could operate freely. Now, with Xi Jinping's draconian new “national security” law, they will be subject to police demands (no court order needed) to censor material or to report on users. https://www.scmp.com/... https://twitter.com/... Fabio Chiusi / @fabiochiusi : “Hong Kong's internet service providers will have no choice but to help police with national security requests now that officers have been given “unfettered” power, analysts say, warning that online privacy and freedom could be under threat” https://www.scmp.com/... Jerome Taylor / @jerometaylor : Hong Kong police have been given “unfettered power” to compel internet companies to provide information in national security cases. That means companies like @Facebook, @Twitter and @Google are going to have to decide whether they cooperate or not https://www.scmp.com/...
