On Sunday, Teresa Cheng, secretary for justice of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government, urged for mutual exertions to denounce and stop revealing previously private personal information about an individual or organization through the internet.
A large number of netizens fortified personal data and involved themselves in doxing activities against Police generals and those with different Political opinions during the social unrest in 2019, Cheng said in an e-essay, noting that some police colonels and their families even received threatening letters.
Cheng added that the HKSAR government received an order in October 2019 to curb such acts.
When doxxing activities towards counsel, judges, legislators and other people involved in the administration of justice were on the rise in 2020, another injunction was issued last October, as per Cheng.
