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 …

Okay so these are probably the new Chinese ones.https://twitter.com/hongkonghermit/status/1190605331665014785 …

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 …

At Sheung Wan, police are arresting a man who had heckled them earlier. (There is one press group filming).pic.twitter.com/CukK4ovLN2

I’ve seen protesters wash off tear gas from dogs and pigeons. A first for a rat!https://twitter.com/mantaichow/status/1190618535371821057 …

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. I found one (see upthread), it had crumpled upon impact.https://twitter.com/rachel_cheung1/status/1190619209413251073 …

Yeah this is going to have terrible consequences.
