Back to EpisodesHong Kong's New Rule: Hand Over Phone Passwords or Face Jail
Description
Hong Kongs new national security law mandates password handovers, potentially leading to jail time and fines for non-compliance. The law targets anyone linked to devices that may hold evidence in security cases, raising concerns about potential misuse against everyday people and foreigners. Similar laws exist in Australia and the UK, but Hong Kongs rules, borrowed from mainland China, are seen as more prone to abuse, sparking fears of potential targeting of foreign workers and businesses amid US-China tensions.
