The Human Rights Foundation
For protesters all around the world, technology is an important tool to communicate and mobilize. For repressive regimes, technology provides new means to surveil protesters and dissidents. In Hong Kong, where recent protests against China’s influence gained global attention, the Hong Kong government is upgrading its surveillance technology while impeding protesters from utilizing existing communication tools. But protestors are fighting back, using cash to buy transit tickets and burner SIM cards to coordinate privately. Join the Human Rights Foundation for a conversation with Denise Ho, singer-songwriter and pro-democracy activist; Nathan Law, founder of youth activist group Demosistō; and Mary Hui, Quartz journalist, to discuss combating government surveillance in protests.
