      The mask ban has started. However, they don't really use facial recognition software here (though some protesters mention it as a potential future concern). The threat is about old-fashioned recognition (by humans!) and legal and personal consequences.https://twitter.com/derekbruff/status/1180195754591150080 …

      My crypto course always features current events. Today, one of my students mentioned that Honk Kong officials have banned face masks during protests, presumably to enable facial recognition software. cc @hypervisible https://fortune.com/2019/10/04/hong-kong-protests-mask-ban-surveillance-anonymity-facial-recognition/ …

      This morning in Hong Kong the whole subway line (the city runs on it! Normally, it's amazing) and many malls (Hong Kong's quasi-public spaces) are closed. Virtual lock-down, but many protests are scheduled. I suspect many will walk, as usual. https://twitter.com/pakwayne/status/1180282846470012929 …

      A bewilderingly common sentiment among the so-called left. People are marching into live fire in Iraq (dozens dead), protesting IMF austerity in Ecuador, putting everything on the line in Hong Kong and somehow US/UK is behind it (via mind control?).https://twitter.com/DrumEQ/status/1180291644303785985 …

      It's not left to look at people risking so much—their very lives—to fight corruption and authoritarianism and see the NED or UK. It's racist and dehumanizing. Neither Hongkongers nor Iraqis are stupid puppets so easily manipulated to risk their lives because of NED powerpoints.

      First day of the mask ban in Hong Kong, and the police are tackling a young couple in the middle of Central. I don’t think the ban is even valid people in groups less than 30. The arbitrariness of implementation ans fear may well be the goal. https://twitter.com/lwcalex/status/1180437985747066880 …

      Candidates in Hong Kong (who are allowed to run for what limited seats are elected) are pretty clearly signaling their stance—fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong. (Yes I’m back for a bit!)pic.twitter.com/N8GeJ6s4Tv

      Tying this mini-thread about Hong Kong’s Lennon walls to the main thread. (Typing while watching protesters help domestic workers in Victoria Park pack up to escape the teargas. Yes, already).https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1190475183313735682 …

      Lennon walls in Hong Kong are a mix of posters, graphic art, scribbles on post-it notes—layer upon layer. Tai Po was probably the biggest. It’s a people expressing themselves, communicating with each other—and also talking through their movement. A few Tai Po pics from October. pic.twitter.com/4xZ06mqCsO

      Hard to put into words what I’m witnessing in Hong Kong. The movement is in its fifth month. Thousands arrested, many facing 10 year sentences. And yet I’m *again* in a sea of thousands of protesters, many wearing masks—telling me they will keep fighting. Tear gas out already.pic.twitter.com/8qmxsrOAVG

      Replying to @zeynep @Noahpinion

      There are dozens of papers out that boast about how the authors have *incentivized* students to riot or demonstrate. given that plus social contagion it's not unrealistic to imagine a degree of organisation behind this.

      They are facing 10 year jail sentences and more. People lost eyes and have been shot at by live rounds. You think they are incentivized by what? Papers??? Payments???

          https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/134/2/1021/5298503 … As I say, given this and other papers, its NOT unreasonable to ask if some are there for other than entirely understandable reasons See for instance http://www.davidecantoni.net/pdfs/hk_persistence_20190825.pdf …

          unless you think *thousands* of people are risking life, limb, and livelihood this way, it really doesn't matter at all whether it's "reasonable to ask.' Not to mention this study was so controversial and criticized when it came out that I recognized it instantly from January.

          Theres a story here about the morality and ethics of RCT's ; given the recent Nobel prizes, thats something to look at. Shooting the messenger isn't the answer. Feel free to DM me.

          the evidence, from researchers, is that *at least some* have been incentivised. So, guys, maybe Bloomberg and NYT might investigate *THAT* research. Or you could clutch pearls online.
