涉揭露臥底警身份 私隱署要求搜尋結果下架 Google 拒絕：純為合法新聞活動
Google’s latest Public Information Report shows that the Hong Kong government made 36 requests to remove content in the second half of last year, involving 126 items. Ultimately, 41 items were removed. In one case, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data asked Google to remove seven website search results, saying they disclosed an undercover police officer’s name, university and other information. Google considered the content part of lawful journalistic activity and ultimately did not remove it.
Police made the most removal requests. The report said that since 2011, Google had received 430 removal requests from the Hong Kong government involving 2,001 items. The latest figures cover July to December 2024. Police made the most requests, with 23, followed by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, with seven.

Mark L. Clifford, author of The Jimmy Lai Story, wrote in yesterday’s (15th) Wall Street Journal commenting on the case in which Next Digital founder Jimmy Lai is charged with “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces”. He described the case as posing a growing danger to the reputation of Hong Kong and China.

“Various media outlets intend to obstruct judicial fairness”
Clifford, a former editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post and director of Next Media, and now chairman of the Hong Kong Free Fund Committee, wrote a commentary in the Wall Street Journal titled “The Extremely Dangerous Pressure of the Jimmy Lai Case”. The article said that 77-year-old Jimmy Lai was spending another summer in Hong Kong, and that Hong Kong should seek a way out of a situation posing a growing danger to its own reputation and that of China.

FCC、無國界記者遭建制追擊 媒體、議員連日發文 斥抹黑香港新聞自由
The pro-establishment Hong Kong Commercial Daily yesterday published a commentary by Johnny Wah Yung Yu, a member of the Standing Committee of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, criticising the RSF rankings and an FCC survey as “smearing Hong Kong’s press freedom, completely turning right and wrong upside down and distorting facts to make them fit.” Wen Wei Po today also published a commentary bylined “Lai Tsz-yan”, saying the two organisations “disregard facts and fail to distinguish right from wrong, using every opportunity to attack the SAR Government and Hong Kong society, fully exposing their despicable conduct of politically manipulating Hong Kong’s rule of law and national security in the name of press freedom, as well as their sinister intentions to disrupt and harm Hong Kong.”
Separately, pro-establishment Legislative Council member Elizabeth Quat wrote in a commentary on the Oriental Daily News website that “certain organisations” were smearing Hong Kong’s rule of law with double standards and “attempting to interfere in China’s internal affairs in the name of ‘press freedom’; their intentions deserve condemnation.” She also said, “Only by upholding the spirit of the rule of law and safeguarding national security can the various rights, including press freedom, be protected and Hong Kong’s lasting peace and stability ensured; this is the true guarantee of the fundamental well-being of Hong Kong people.”
A spokesperson for the SAR Government told media in response to inquiries that the government strongly condemned the inaccurate and biased remarks made by the organisations concerned when publishing the relevant index and statement.
建制派媒體《香港商報》昨日發布中華全國工商業聯合會常委楊華勇的評論，批評RSF排名、FCC調查是「抹黑香港新聞自由，完全是顛倒陰陽、顛倒黑白、扭曲作直。」《文匯報》今亦發表署名「黎子珍」的評論，稱兩組織「罔顧事實、不分是非，利用一切機會攻擊特區政府和香港社會，充分暴露其以新聞自由為名，對香港法治和國家安全進行政治操弄的卑劣行徑以及其亂港禍港的險惡用心。」
另外，建制派立法會議員葛珮帆在《東網》發表評論，批「個別組織」以雙重標準抹黑香港法治，「企圖以『新聞自由』之名干涉中國內政，其心可誅」，又指「惟有堅守法治精神、維護國家安全，才能保障包括新聞自由在內的各項權利，確保香港長治久安，這才是對港人根本福祉的真正保障。」
特區政府發言人回覆傳媒查詢表示，強烈譴責相關組織發表有關指數及聲明時所作出的不實和偏頗言論。

「敏感」燈柱｜16 支89、64組合路燈 最少 11 支「已熄滅」
The Collective reported last Thursday (the 7th) that the “8964 streetlights” near Tin Tin Road in Yuen Long had disappeared, although the geospatial information map had not been updated. According to the “Streetlight Location Data” on the government’s open data platform that day, Hong Kong still had eight other streetlights whose numbers contained “8964” and seven whose numbers contained “6489”, spread across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories and the outlying islands. One day later (the 8th), “8964” and “6489” streetlights could no longer be found on either the data platform or the “Geospatial Information Map”; all streetlights at the original locations had been renumbered.
To determine whether all the “8964” and “6489” streetlights had disappeared, reporters recently visited various districts and inspected the remaining streetlights, excluding the “6489” streetlight at Yin Hing Monastery on Lantau Island. They found that, of the 15 streetlights, at least four had still not been renumbered as of November 10, while the other 11 “64” streetlights had all disappeared and been “renovated” into other numbers.
Why did the government delete the old numbers online in advance of “renovating” the streetlights? Could this pose a danger to members of the public using streetlight locations when calling an ambulance or seeking help? What was the reason for the sudden disappearance of the large number of “64” streetlights? The Highways Department did not directly answer the queries in its reply tonight (the 12th), reiterating that renumbering may be considered when streetlight poles are renovated or beautified.
《集誌社》上周四（7日）報道元朗馬田路附近的 「8964 路燈」消失，但地理資訊地圖未更新；根據當日政府開放數據平台上的「街燈位置資料」，全港還有另外 8 支編號有「8964」的路燈、以及 7 支編號有「6489」的路燈，遍布港、九、新界、離島各區。一日後（8日），在數據平台和「地理資訊地圖」上，突然完全搜查不到「8964」和「6489」路燈，原有位置的路燈全為「重新編號」。
為確認「8964」和「6489」路燈是否已全部消失，除大嶼山延慶寺「6489」路燈外，記者日前走訪各區、觀察其餘路燈現況，發現 15 支路燈中，最少有 4 支在 11 月10 日仍未被重新編號，其餘 11 支 「64」路燈則全部消失、被「翻新」為其他編號。
為何政府會在「翻新」路燈前「偷步」在網上刪除舊編號？此舉會否為使用路燈定位的公眾，在召喚救護者或求助時帶來危險？大批「64」路燈突被消失原因為何？路政署今晚（12日）回覆沒直接回應查詢，重申翻新／美化燈柱時會考慮重新編號。

政府批RFA將換舊身份證炒作成打壓港人陰謀 鄧炳強稱明白撤出原因：佢哋有犯法意圖
Radio Free Asia (RFA), which withdrew from Hong Kong after being named and criticised in February this year, published a report yesterday (20th) titled “Hong Kong government ‘threatens’ Hongkongers to return and replace their identity cards as soon as possible—what are the consequences if overseas Hongkongers do not replace them?” The government issued a press release this evening, accusing RFA of maliciously distorting the government’s policies and measures and turning its call for citizens to replace their smart identity cards as soon as possible into “a so-called conspiracy to suppress Hong Kong people”. After attending a meeting this evening, Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung criticised RFA for distorting the facts and attempting to incite distrust and hatred of the government among the public. He condemned RFA as “wearing the cloak of the media” while actually endangering national security and Hong Kong’s security, and said he “finally understood” why RFA withdrew from Hong Kong: “They intended to break the law and believed that staying in Hong Kong would mean breaking the law, so they had to leave.”
今年2月被點名批評後撤出香港的自由亞洲電台（RFA），昨（20日）發布一篇題為〈港府「威嚇」港人盡快回港換身分證 海外港人不換會有後果麼？〉的報導。政府今日傍晚發新聞稿，點名批評RFA惡意曲解政府的政策和措施，將呼籲市民盡快換領智能身份證，「炒作成所謂打壓港人的陰謀」。保安局局長鄧炳強傍晚出席一個會議後，批 RFA 扭曲事實，企圖煽動市民對政府的不信任和憎恨，斥 RFA「披媒體外衣」，實質是危害國家和香港安全，並稱「終於明白」RFA 撤出香港的原因，「就係佢哋有犯法意圖，認為留喺香港就會犯法，所以呢，就要離開。」

世界新聞自由日｜港府強烈譴責無國界記者 指其發表的世界新聞自由指數及聲明為不實和偏頗言論
Reporters Without Borders released its 2024 World Press Freedom Index today (the 3rd), ranking Hong Kong 135th among 180 countries and regions, with its score falling to 43.06. It also said that the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law had caused Hong Kong journalists to face “unprecedented” setbacks.

港府去年下半年33次要求Google刪內容 包括「假特首」詐騙網
Google has released its latest Transparency Report. From July to December last year, the government made 33 requests to Google to remove information, involving 134 items. Twenty-four of the requests were made by police, and three involved the removal of national security-related content, although the report did not state whether removal was requested. The report listed one case in which police sought the removal of three websites suspected of impersonating Chief Executive John Lee in an attempt to recruit users for an investment platform. Google determined that all three websites violated its collaborative platform policies and removed them.
Google公布最新一份《資訊公開報告》，去年7月至12月期間，政府共向Google提出33次移除資料的要求，涉及134個項目；由警方提出的要求有24次，有3次要求涉及移除國家安全內容，但報告未提及是否應要求移除。報告列出其中一個案，警方希望移除3個涉嫌冒用特首李家超的網站，企圖為某個投資平台招攬使用者。Google認為3個網站均違反協作平台政策，因而移除。

港府用語新詞典 陳樂行：官員為表忠 免遭人話柄
Do people understand the meanings of terms such as “片區”, “短板” and “管用”? In recent years, the language used by Hong Kong government officials and in government press releases has increasingly included terms that are not commonly used by Hong Kong people, some of which are commonly used in Chinese officialdom. Based on government press releases, Light Media counted the use of some of these terms and found that some first appeared under Chief Executive John Lee. KongHub founder Andrew Chan Lok-hang told Light Media that using language unfamiliar to the audience could not only create communication problems but also affect local culture. He also believed that officials frequently use the language of Chinese officialdom to “show loyalty” and avoid giving people a handle.
「片區、短板、管用」，這些詞語大家明白當中含意嗎？近年香港政府官員的說話，乃至政府新聞公報，充斥愈來愈多並非港人慣用詞語，這些用語部分是中國官場慣用語言。《光傳媒》根據政府公報，統計部分用語的使用情況，發現部分詞語始自特首李家超。KongHub創辦人陳樂行向《光傳媒》表示，使用受眾不熟悉的語言，除了可能造成溝通問題，也可能影響當地的文化。他又認為，官員多用中國官場語言，是為了「表忠」，以免遭人話柄。

BBC報導佔立會案 指致國安法出現並更易檢控示威者 港府：虛假指控及詆毀
The July 1 Legislative Council occupation case was sentenced yesterday. In reporting the sentencing results, the BBC said that the protests on that day led to the emergence of the Hong Kong National Security Law, making it easier for the Hong Kong government to prosecute protesters and weakening the autonomy of the HKSAR. The government issued a statement in the evening, condemning the report for using false allegations to smear the law safeguarding national security in the HKSAR and create a negative impression of the law.
A spokesperson for the HKSAR Government said the report on the imprisonment of the 2019 “black violence” protesters used false allegations to defame the National Security Law and weaken Hong Kong’s autonomy. The spokesperson said it also attempted to divert attention, creating the mistaken impression that the purpose of enacting the National Security Law was to “make it easier to prosecute protesters”. The spokesperson said the purpose of enacting the National Security Law was to steadfastly and fully and accurately implement the policies of “one country, two systems”, “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong” and a high degree of autonomy.
七一佔立會案昨日判刑，英國廣播公司（BBC）在報道判刑結果時，提及該日示威導致《香港國安法》的出現，令港府更容易檢控示威者，並削弱特區自治權。港府晚上發聲明，斥報道以虛假指控抹黑特區維護國家安全法律，令人對該法產生負面印象。
特區政府發言人形容，該篇有關2019年「黑暴」示威者被判囚的報道以虛假指控詆毀《國安法》削弱香港的自治權，又企圖轉移焦點，令人誤以為《國安法》立法目的是為『更容易檢控示威者』。發言人指，《國安法》制定目的是為堅定不移並全面準確貫徹『一國兩制』、『港人治港』、高度自治的方針。
