CNN報道｜香港加裝逾千監視器
US media outlet CNN reported on the 5th, the day before yesterday, that Hong Kong plans to install thousands of surveillance cameras. Some experts said the move further demonstrates that Hong Kong is increasingly resembling China. Although the authorities said many countries also install large numbers of surveillance cameras, experts criticised the key difference between the West and China as lying in how the technology is used: “The fundamental difference concerns how government systems and the party-state use the law to preserve their own power.”
Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung said in an interview in June this year that closed-circuit television cameras had been installed across Hong Kong in phases since April, with a target of installing 2,000 cameras across the city by the end of this year, and subsequently aiming to install 2,000 to 2,500 cameras annually. Asked whether the surveillance cameras would incorporate facial-recognition technology, Tang said in August that it was inevitable that they would have artificial-intelligence technology, and that the authorities would act in accordance with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance.
美國媒體CNN前日（5日）報道，香港計劃安裝數千個監視器，有專家指此舉進一步證明香港愈來愈像中國。儘管當局指不少國家也安裝大量監視器，但有專家批評西方與中國的關鍵分別在於技術使用方式，「根本上的差異，與政府系統和黨國如何利用法律維護自身權力有關」。
保安局局長鄧炳強今年6月接受訪問時提到，4月起已分階段在全港安裝閉路電視，目標於今年內在全港安裝2,000部閉路電視，未來則以每年2,000至2,500部為目標。至於天眼有否加入人面識別技術，鄧於8月曾指出天眼有人工智能技術是必然，當局會根據《私隱條例》辦事。

教育局推「增強版」國安措施 監察電子書璧報板 遇違法「須立即報警」
The Education Bureau has introduced an “enhanced” set of national security measures for schools. In addition to requiring all government-funded schools to appoint a designated coordinator to plan national security education, the measures require schools to establish various monitoring mechanisms, including checking electronic books in library collections and inspecting classroom noticeboards and school books for content that may “endanger national security”. The bureau has also provided sample statements for schools to clarify that they are unrelated to activities such as organising class boycotts or human chains, while expressing regret over them. If schools find students wearing clothing or accessories containing political messages, damaging school facilities, displaying slogans, or singing songs with political messages, they must “immediately report to the police” if the situation is serious.
教育局推出「增強版」學校國家安全措施，除了要求所有公帑資助學校須委派「專責統籌人員」，規劃國家安全教育；亦要學校增設多個監察機制，例如圖書館電子版藏書、巡視課室璧報和校內書本有無「危害國家安全」內容。教育局甚至提供聲明樣本，若學校遇到有人組織罷課或組人鏈等活動，須澄清與學校無關，兼表達遺憾。若校方發現學生穿戴含政治訊息衣著物件、破壞學校設施、口號或唱帶有政治訊息的歌曲等行為，情況嚴重「須立即報警」。

校內大部分鏡頭為海康威視製造 品牌被指協助中共打壓維吾爾人
Members of the association found that most of the surveillance cameras on campus were made by the Chinese brand HikVision. A staircase leading to the Lau Chung-him Building appeared to have a 360-degree panoramic surveillance camera. However, HikVision was exposed in May this year for allegedly assisting the Chinese Communist Party in violating Uyghur human rights. A student also said they had seen technicians installing CCTV on campus as early as August, with more than a dozen newly packaged cameras made by HikVision placed beside them. The association is making enquiries with the school.
本會成員發現，校園內大部分監控鏡頭均為中國品牌海康威視（HikVision）製造，其中通往劉仲謙樓的樓梯疑似設有 360 度全方位監控鏡頭。然而，海康威視於今年 5 月被揭發協助中共侵害維吾爾人權。另外有同學表示早於 8 月目睹工程人員在校內設置閉路電視，其身旁置放著十數個新包裝、由海康威視製造的攝錄鏡頭。本會正向校方查詢。

警察公共關係科早前升格為公共關係部 引入「24小時輿情追蹤機制」
The Police Public Relations Branch was earlier upgraded to a Public Relations Department, with one of its key tasks being to “identify rumours as early as possible and proactively clarify them as quickly as possible”. This year, the police introduced a “24-hour public opinion monitoring mechanism” and, through cooperation with technology companies, use big data to monitor false information both online and offline. Senior Superintendent (Public Relations Department) Tsang Suk-yin said the events of 2019 showed that false information and fake news could cause far-reaching damage. Some people still believe that “people died at Prince Edward station” and that “a rape incident occurred at San Uk Ling”. The police need to understand and clarify online incidents that are “heating up” or being smeared; otherwise, members of the public may misunderstand the government or the police force, or even develop hatred.
警察公共關係科早前升格為公共關係部，工作重點之一是「盡早發現及盡快主動澄清謠言」。警方今年引入「24小時輿情追蹤機制」，透過與科技公司合作，利用大數據監察線上線下假消息。總警司（公共關係部）曾淑賢稱，2019年的事件反映假消息和假新聞可造成深遠破壞，至今仍有人相信「太子站死咗人」、「新屋嶺有強姦事件發生」，警方需了解和澄清網上「升溫」或抹黑事件，否則市民會誤解政府或警隊甚至產生仇恨。
