TVB app push notifications: Youth convicted of criminal damage appeals conviction, saying he may have believed he was authorised
TVB App「出Push」刑毀罪成 青年提定罪上訴 指或以為獲授權
In 2022, a young man logged into a link mistakenly issued by a 《無綫》 staff member and sent multiple push notifications through the “無綫新聞” mobile app, including “比家超见记者”. He was convicted of criminal damage and sentenced to a community service order. He appealed against the conviction. The case was heard in the High Court on Wednesday (12th), and Acting Judge Chun Man (OIAP) Li will deliver the judgment within three months. The appeal argued that the TVB system automatically authorised public access, and that the appellant might have believed he was authorised. The Department of Justice argued that there was no evidence that TVB had authorised access to the system, and that the appellant had computer knowledge and should have suspected that the system was malfunctioning, meaning he would not have mistakenly believed that he had authorisation.
青年 2022 年登入《無綫》職員錯誤發出的連結，在「無綫新聞」手機程式發出「比家超见记者」等多條推送通知（App push），被裁定刑事損壞罪成，判社會服務令。他不服定罪提上訴，案件周三（12 日）於高院處理，暫委法官李俊文將於 3 個月內頒判詞。 上訴方指出， TVB 的系統自動授權予公眾進入，上訴人或認為自己獲授權。律政司一方則指，沒證供指出 TVB 授權進入系統，而上訴人具備電腦知識，理應懷疑系統出錯，不會誤會自己獲得授權。
