Hong Kong protesters are so adamant about covering their face and using the latest privacy apps on their smartphones because they understand what is at stake. China will never understand Hong Kong\u2019s desire for freedom. At the government level, maybe some Chinese politicians are aware that what they\u2019re selling the Chinese populace (both within Mainland China and abroad) is a crock full of authoritarian stew. The protesters in Hong Kong are so adamant about marching because they know that they are marching for their lives. The promises that China had made in their one China, two systems spiel are now known lies to the entire world. China\u2019s Great Firewall and cybersecurity laws<\/a> already make a pretty tight leash on freedom of expression within the mainland. In Hong Kong, the leash is still tightening and protesters are aware that they\u2019re being surveilled by the Chinese Communist Party both <\/span>online<\/span><\/a> and in person.<\/span><\/p>\n

China forbids privacy in real life and online<\/span><\/h2>\n

As facial recognition software makes its way into everything from the <\/span>registration process<\/span><\/a> for new cell phone plans and internet services to <\/span>classrooms<\/span><\/a> to concerts, China has also banned the use of <\/span>face masks in Hong Kong<\/span><\/a>. The obvious implication is that the Chinese government is amassing a huge database of dissenters in Hong Kong. The most troublesome of which have long been aware that they are at risk for being \u201cdisappeared.\u201d Even without the extradition law that the HK protesters marched against, China still acts in extra-jurisdictionally and kidnaps people when they aren\u2019t within the borders of the People\u2019s Republic of China. Remember the <\/span>book sellers<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people familiar with the past responses to political turmoil, namely the Tiananmen Square Massacre, are aware of the immense persecution that Tiananmen Square protesters faced after the Massacre. Take the infamous Tank Man, whose fate is unknown and has long been suspected to have ended in the hands of a Chinese camp. The same types of \u201cre-education\u201d camps that have been used since the Cultural Revolution and are being used in the Chinese to oppress ethnic and religious minorities. Anyone that protests against the Chinese government knows deep down in their heart that the Chinese Communist Party is revamping its long campaign to publicly demonize a third class of minority: the political minority. In a country where there is only one party, any dissenting view will. With good reason, the most popular dissenting view is democracy and self determination \u2013 both of which run counter to China\u2019s goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

China strong arms companies into making life for HK protesters harder<\/span><\/h2>\n

Protesters in Hong Kong aren\u2019t just faced with opposition from the Chinese government, they\u2019re also faced with opposition from international corporations that acquiesce to China\u2019s demands and party line to avoid damaging their access to the lucrative Chinese market. A stark example of this would be <\/span>Apple removing the HKmap.live app<\/span><\/a> from the Apple iTunes App Store claiming it was for the safety of Hong Kong police \u2013 a blatant government lie. In reality, the app was being used by protesters to avoid police and especially undercover police or their <\/span>secret society associates<\/span><\/a> that were intentionally enacting violence at otherwise peaceful protests to try and sway public opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The protesters in Hong Kong know that despite their best efforts, the mainstream media in China is portraying them in the worst light. But that doesn\u2019t matter. The real media and truth seekers in the world have been viewing China\u2019s actions in Hong Kong and are continuing to report on it because it is a lynchpin for China\u2019s international policy. For that reason, China will crack down on the Hong Kong protesters once they have amassed the data that they need to identify every last dissenter. While that may sound like a dystopian sci-fi ending, it\u2019s the one we\u2019re barreling towards if the international community \u2013 companies, individuals, and all \u2013 don\u2019t stand up to the Chinese Communist Party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non Chinese companies need to stand up against China by providing products and services that do not acquiesce to China\u2019s extra-jurisdictional demands to remove <\/span>certain flags from emoji keyboards<\/span><\/a> or to issue apologies under implicit or explicit threat. Making sure these products and services are available to protesters like those in Hong Kong is a noble cause and will be instrumental in changing the world for the better. The protesters in Hong Kong can use decentralized technologies to chat with each other and to encrypt their communications and internet browsing in spite of Chinese government wishes because technology and freedom will always find a way. As we stand on the cusp of a China-lead privacy dystopia, it\u2019s individuals like the protesters in Hong Kong that are figuratively on the front lines risking their lives. Hong Kong protesters don\u2019t just want privacy from China \u2013 they need it to survive.<\/span><\/p>\n
