Hong Kong High Court bans posting police officers info on social media

In a recent effort to clamp down on Hong Kong's demonstrations, authorities were able to win a temporary court order where y banned anyone from posting personal details or photos of police officers online without ir consent. law prohibits “intimidating, molesting, harassing, threatening, pestering or interfering” with police officials or ir relatives. It furr also prohibits unlawfully “publishing, communicating or disclosing” officers details in any social media accounts. law will reportedly be in effect until vember 8, however it still remains unclear how order will be put into force and wher it will restrict journalists. 

move comes after police officers complained about having ir personal information leaked on social media sites. At a rally last week it was also reported that some demonstrators jeered and cursed several police officers in an event organized by Medical workers to oppose “violent repression” by police in response to protesters. officers also claim that ir family members were harassed. A Hong Kong-based lawyer also described situation as an alarming development in a tweet.
