      For example, I just walked out of a restaurant into a surprise cloud of teargas. That’s the kind of thing that the Hong Kong app banned by @Apple is useful for—not ambushing police like the ridiculous claim since it just isn’t that granular.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1190582383348719616 …

      The app @Apple banned after being criticized by CCP mouthpiece? It’s useful for avoiding surprise tear gas. Medics have been treating these two bystanders caught in tear gas for 20 minutes. At one point she was convulsing. Someone surprised or inexperienced can end gulp a lot.😡 pic.twitter.com/WtEY6fPQpu

      By the way, still a large police presence around Sheung Wan, and no press around. They were chasing someone a moment ago. (A few medics did go along with the chase).pic.twitter.com/ouAAXIdIy2

      Another question to follow up: Is YouTube disproportionately recommending Chinese government’s false assertions about Hong Kong protesters? Why is it recommended at all? As usual, independent researchers don’t have the full data we’d need.https://twitter.com/jeremybmerrill/status/1190002705793781761 …

      A Chinese propaganda video insinuating Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are U.S. cutouts got far more YouTube views than videos on the same topic by the BBC, NYT or WSJ. Why? YouTube's algorithm recommended it heavily, data from @gchaslot suggests. https://qz.com/1734111/did-youtube-help-chinas-anti-hong-kong-propaganda-go-viral/ …

      This is really dangerous. Hong Kong press is reporting a medic it has been hospitalized with serious burn injuries after one of these new Chinese tear gas canisters hit him in the back.

      Another video making the rounds in Hong Kong. Fireman gets upset with the police for firing at his truck. He does a “WTF” and then police start shoving him around.

          Just a reminder that @Apple has banned the app that the HongKongers could use to learn that the ordinary shopping mall they’re about to enter has just been stormed (or teargassed!) by riot police. I keep repeating this, but these are not minor decisions.https://twitter.com/woppa1woppa/status/1190944605102985216 …

          Sad turning point for Hong Kong. The 22 year-old student, Alex Chow, has died following a fall, reportedly trying to escape tear gas/police.

          They possible did want to drive Porsche or steal it, like what they do mainland China, “requisition”/steal people’s properties “for a good reason.” They are just like the Nazis. “The second picture, is Hong Kong’s riot police’s new uniform.”. In my opinion.....pic.twitter.com/xpL8s72D3B
