5/ Especially under the newly enacted national security law in the city, Apple is also expected to play a more active role to push back on Beijing’s censorship, both overt or covert, on free expressions, including Apple’s employees.

6/ As early as in 2013, you stressed that workplace equality is good for business, pledging to create a safe and welcoming workplace for employees and ensuring there is no need to check their identity at the door.

@joshuawongcf
4/ The incident raises profound concerns over whether Apple introduces censorship at the workplace. As a global leader in innovation, there is a growing expectation that Apple should be the leading champion of free expression.

3/ Workers are also required not to decorate their Memojis with yellow or black accessories, the colours that are often interpreted as pro-protest support. Apple store managers even threatened to sack workers who refuse to change their #Memoji colours.

2/ Recently I have received several complaints from current workers at Apple Store in Hong Kong, who blasted the company’s managers for imposing restrictive guidelines at the workplace, including banning employees from wearing yellow masks or those printed with “Hong Kong”.

5. When Apple spoke out against oppression during #BlackLivesMatter & #PrideMonth, we hope @Apple & @tim_cook can also safeguard our vanishing liberties under the new sweeping security law and clarify their stances on how to protect their workers’ rights of expression in future.

4. It is even more outrageous, while universities like Princeton try all means to protect their students from the threats of #nationalsecuritylaw, our tech giants just once again kowtow to #Beijing.

2. 2. Also, @Apple allegedly imposed restrictive guidelines, requiring workers not to wear yellow or black in their memoji which will be displayed on their lanyards. Managers even threatened employees with the sack if they refused to change their memoji.

When 200,000 #Belarusians staged the biggest march against dictator #Lukashenko, #China’s media, Dragon TV, spread fake news by claiming those ralliers were pro-Lukashenko, though they held white-red protest flags & placards w/ slogan “A killer can't be a president” in Belarusian

김대중 전 대통령은 살아계실 당시 민주화운동에 일생을 바치셨습니다. 그 과정에서 가택연금, 망명, 감금, 납치를 당하셨고 심지어 사형까지 선고받으셨습니다. 그런 상황 속에서도 민주화를 향해 나아간 끝에 1998년 대통령에 당선돼 2000년 노벨평화상을 받았습니다. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

저는 아시아의 네 마리 용, 한국과 대만의 민주적 프로세스는 홍콩에서도 참고할 만하다는 생각을 해왔습니다. 특히 ‘아시아의 만델라’라고도 불리는 김대중 대통령이 실천하여 이룬 외교적 성과와 국제적 경험은 오늘날 백색 테러의 충격을 겪고 있는 홍콩에게도 시사점을 줄 것이라 생각합니다.

Poll: Should @Cellebrite_UFED stop selling phone-hacking products to the Belarus government under the rule of dictator Lukashenko?

7/ In the face of tyranny, #HKers and people in #Belarus face the shared destiny of the oppressed, from #policebrutality, election frauds to the crackdowns on civil society. We hope the world can #standwithbelarus and other democracy pursuers in other places like #Thailand.
772
@joshuawongcf
6/ To protect our #Belarusian fellows from crackdowns, #HKers call upon @Cellebrite_UFED and Israeli government to stop exporting cyber forensics technologies to #Belarus. #EU should impose export bans on all equipment that can be used for international repression in Belarus.
773
@joshuawongcf
5/ The tyrannical use of digital forensics technologies is another weapon for dictator #Lukashenko to launch assaults on freedom-loving Belarus people.

4/ It has deadly consequences in Belarus. As the only country in Europe that maintains death penalties, the #Belarus government has been arresting and torturing activists, journalists, bloggers and academics.
