HONG KONG--Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) said on Jan. 14 that it’s blocked a website that publishes material mainly on the 2019 pro-democracy protests, to comply with the city’s national security law, marking the first censorship of a local website under the law.
While the internet in mainland China is heavily censored and access to foreign social media platforms and news sites is blocked, residents in Chinese-ruled Hong Kong have so far enjoyed greater freedoms under the “one country, two systems” framework.
