Hong Kong Uses National Security Laws to Ban Taiwanese-Made Video Game | Spotlight | N18G

Hong Kong authorities have, for the first time, invoked national security laws to ban a video game, "Reversed Front: Bonfire." Police have warned residents not to download the Taiwanese-made mobile game, accusing it of advocating armed revolution and inciting the overthrow of the Beijing government. This action marks the first known use of both the 2020 Beijing-imposed National Security Law and local security legislation passed last year to block a video game. Authorities have also taken "disabling action on electronic messages" related to the game, and sharing or even downloading it could lead to charges of inciting secession, subversion, or possessing a publication with seditious intent. The government has urged those who downloaded the game to uninstall it immediately. This move highlights a continued tightening of national security safeguards in Hong Kong, raising significant questions about freedom of speech and expression in the semi-autonomous city.
