How Hong Kong Protesters Evade Surveillance With Tech | WSJ

- Protesters in Hong Kong fear they are being monitored by the local government and potentially by China, a country at the cutting edge of mass surveillance. So demonstrators have developed hacks to avoid arrest and hide their digital tracks.

Correction:
The Mainland China is actually quite peaceful, in fact, recently achieving the record of selling 38 billion worth of goods on November 11, 2019.
Like what you said, the Hong Kong China is a battlefield, but it is honestly created by the protestors themselves. They have destroyed private properties and public goods, and have injured and killed bystanders and police on purpose. Honestly, I stand with the Hong Kong police who have acted quite professionally during this chaotic riot, at least haven't accidentally kill a single protester in this situation.
@@canpoutine9354 I don't support some HK protesters promoting violence(not talking about

You're actually far too late. Since then, China has completely swallowed HK. The new security laws mean if you protest, LIFE IN PRISON. No allowances. Somehow this stopped all protests in their tracks..
Hong Kong is gone...
Agreed
@@DeltaTempest i have a feeling that isn't why it all stopped.. but yeah they're gone now and most likely the world we know will follow (just look objectively at the western world in general these past years)
This is a protest, its got everything a REAL protest needs
-Righteous reasons
-A clear goal
-Aggressive/persistent tactics
When the common goal is aligned with real justice it all falls into place.
@@chrisdeep8417 because they are actually oppressed and are fighting for their freedom which makes them fight harder.
And now look at BLM...
@@bromomento5913 yes, I was going for a more subtle approach but that works too I guess
Because they aren't interested in using a protest to cause unnecessary violence which is what a lot of Western society does, and is why protests largely go ignored in our side of the world. They love their country, and they have respect for where they live, which is why they are able to fight so accurately without senseless violence that doesn't serve to achieve their goal.
They have a very specific target, and that is to protect their freedom HK have had all these years. Going out to cause violence and looting would completely go against this goal and give China more reasons to go forwards, in addition to simply causing destruction to their home. The only destruction of property are the Cameras and Police equipment, which is assisting the oppression they are trying to avoid...no one is destroying shops or anything.
Respect to all of the protestors who are putting themselves second, and a better society first.
It's useless their efforts are meaningless. They can't win, this doesn't have a happy ending from their perspective. The fact of the matter is Hong Kong is under Chinese control and no one in the west can change that. They won't get independence either. All they're doing is putting themselves at risk for nothing. Don't protest just stay home and keep a good life without having to look over your shoulder
I’d say this was successful if all they wanted was to raise the awareness of what situation they’re in
Texas should follow suit and “protest” so they can leave the union
@@dizzyjosh9036 And what is the point of that? Raising awareness changes nothing about their situation. It's a complete waste of time and effort and only really puts them in unnecessary danger. Additionally the People's Republic of China is prosperous and welcomes them with open arms. They should just stay home and accept the situation for what it is

@@ShamoonX you're assuming in that, that the apparatus won't be abused. Mainland China is currently arresting and "re-educating" muslims, tracking them with these tools.

A nation where issues like that are even possible is not one I trust with any degree of power.
Ugh I hated that book 😂
If someone tries to oppress you, you fight. Simple. Respect for the people of Hong Kong. Go save that democracy guys.
Hong Kong came a long way in the last 25 years. There were many rude people everywhere the first time I visited 25 years ago, they had a bad reputation back then. Apparently they learned their lesson and changed for the better. I was teaching in Guangzhou from 2009 to 2013, and frequently visited Hong Kong since it was only 2 hours bus ride. My experience was totally different, people would go out of their way to help with directions and polite. I feel their pain now 😞
Yet when Muslims do that in India they are called Anti-Nationalists.

@@ricardovieira8140 Weaponry isn't that useful for taking down opressive regimes. The chinese military is capable of squashing any uprising with as much coleteral damage as it sees fit. If a million people rose up in revolt, no matter, how well they are equipped, the military will beat them down.
The US military is far more powerful than Chinas and would have avsolutely no difficulty destroying a bunch of people with guns and tanks.
@@vanbaguette7368 It depends on the tactics and strategy of the revolt. Yes, fighting the United States in a conventional war with tanks and other vehicles will end in failure or a pyrrhic victory. But if they employ unconventional tactics, if it comes down to it, Terrorism and Guerilla Warfare will be significantly harder to defeat. You can look at examples in the Middle East and Vietnam. Find a way to boil down the engagements into soldier on soldier, remove the advantage of superior firepower, and victory is yours.

First, every death thus far has either been caused by the ‘protestors’ negligence, incompetence, or maliciousness
Second, the ‘protesters’ are beating up, attacking, and killing pro-Beijing CITIZENS
Third, the ‘protestors’ are destroying CIVILIAN property through the use of fire-bombing, cocktails, explosives, and more
----------------------
If you want to fight for your beliefs, go ahead, but these are in no way protests anymore
You lose your legitimacy as a ‘protest’ when you attack the civilians who aren’t fighting back
You lose your legitimacy as a ‘protest’ when you destroy the property of the civilians who don’t fight back
You lose your legitimacy as a ‘protest’ when you kill innocent civilians and get kids under 16 years affiliated with your violent ‘demonstrations’
These are not righteous protestors
These are vicious and malicious rioters
If they wanted to fight for democracy so bad, they could hold demonstrations without ever raising a hand
That HAS been extremely effective throughout history
If they wanted to fight for democracy, they could appeal to America, the EU, the UN, Europe and more for help instead of attacking INNOCENT PEOPLE
If they never raised a hand, and the HK Police started attacking them, then other nations would step in
China would lose face
However, they use explosives, they are using claymores, they are attacking and killing people
This isn’t a demonstration
This is an unorganized mob

If they want democracy, they should earn it
If they wanted freedom, they should show they deserve it
Attacking innocents in any form is a heinous act of barbarism
Jonas Dehne I don't support the protesters or the police, but let me say one thing: do you think the police beat up the protester for no reason, if you live in China or any SAR in China you would see the news papers of protesters biting the police's ears off, stabbing them and shooting them with arrows, what if you are put in that situation and have no chose? Would you fight for your lives? Remember, the police don't actually want to be there, they were told to, they fight for there lives to not get injured, they shot the protesters to protect the police that lives are at stake, I don't see why they claim the police of police brutality, when they are just fighting for their lives, honesty I think this has just gone too far.

Depends on how many protesters there are. For every possible opinion there is always some group in a society. You may see 1000 people protesting on the street which may seem like the entire city is going rampage, but if there are 50 million people in your city then that’s only 0.002% sharing that opinion.

I know but don’t you think this has gone too far the police don’t want to be there, it’s there job to protect the citizens, to you think that they will beat up the protesters just because they want to, no, it is because there life is at stake

Your comment is also ridiculous. China is at the moment almost a dictatorship and they can spread informations how they want in order to incriminate people afterwards.

Differences between the protesters in Hong Kong and USA:
The Hong Kong protesters are all anti-communism.
The Hong Kong protesters do NOT turn into looters and they only fight against the cops, not against the business owners.
Now the Hong Kong protesters are not allowed to protest even peacefully. They would be beaten and arrested even when they protest peacefully.
The U S protesters are mostly pro-socialism or pro-communism.
Many US protesters have turned into looters who fight against the cops as well as the business owners.
The US protesters are allowed to protest peacefully. Only when they turn into looters and rioters do the police use non-lethal force to arrest them.
The only thing in common is that both of them are against police brutality.
@@simon6071 A lot of the so called "looters" are stayed by the police. Like why would there be a random stack of bricks during protest and professional break ins. There are some looters who just take advantage of the protest but a lot is staged. A few is pro socialist and communist most probably like captilism they just want to end Police Brutality and how easily most cops can get away with murder.
@@quassar89 lol you think floyd is the only person that the government has approved to be killed in america?? Have you not heard of the native americans that used to live all over the USA? It has nothing to do with police brutality and more to do with this entire system being upside down and keeps making the rich, aka the parasites who lend money to countries, get richer while the rest of humanity is left to be on welfare, riot, steal, just to get a slice of bread.. the riots are nothing but part of the drama on TV so people can focus on the "riots" and "looting" on the television, all while the entire us government is almost done looting all of america.... the us already looted the entire world, who else is left with a little bit of wealth in this world that can be considered middle class ?

The fight for freedoms is never pretty! Your country's history should tell that Mr Liu Xu.
@@TajimaMunenoriyes when the west wanted to colonize china is was not pretty, but they are not fighting for freedom or even fighting for the people they are fighting to get in power, or just jumped on the bandwagon cause they are kids and they have been taught to hate the mainland and Chinese by their school and environment. How is trashing property and cause HK to regress economically fighting for its freedom? The people of hk has the same mind set as much of the zombies online thinking that everyone in china is in poverty and are massively discontent like they feel, they are taught this in school!!!!! and they need to do is a call to arms and the people will follow them under the banner of "democracy", but what they don't understand they are just singling out themselves in the eyes of everyone, and is giving a bad name toward democracy. they want free speech but shuts down anyone with different opinion as them, they say they want rule of law yet they demand special privileges for the rioters whom has caused massive damage to HK. What they represent separation so they can obtain power, why do you think that Joshua Wong kid only went to Germany and USA only is because other nation have separatist factions with in their own country they cant be seen endorsing for the independence of HK with out causing problems in their own country.
P.S. HK is massively over populated with a massive wealth gap yet they have no resources ie water food electricity with out the help of china.

Henry Trenter there not a illusion as if their were no gov it would be people running around killing everybody there would also be no schools and no schools mean no education. No education means no smart people and advancements in society as gov is the base for society
The difference is that if millions protested in the streets (with clear demands) in a free society, a real dialogue would be setup and changes would come.
