A Hong Kong court has extended a temporary injunction banning the posting or sharing of online posts that could incite violence—a move sought by the government to curb violence in Hong Kong as anti-government protests continue to rock the city.
The ban is aimed at blocking a popular Reddit-like forum, LIHKG, and the messaging app Telegram—two major communication platforms for protesters. Both LIHKG and Telegram are named in the injunction, cited as examples of platforms on which the posting or sharing of information could incite violence and which therefore are banned.
