The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the Privacy Commissioner), Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, published an article entitled “One Year On: A Review of the New Anti-doxxing Regime” at Hong Kong Lawyer to explain the new doxxing offences which took effect in October 2021, and recapitulate her Office’s enforcement work and achievements in combatting doxxing over the past year, the education and publicity efforts in raising the public awareness of the new anti-doxxing regime, and the progress made in fostering external enforcement collaborations.
The Privacy Commissioner highlighted that the implementation of the new anti-doxxing regime safeguards the values of our city as a civilized society and upholds the rule of law across the territory, and does not affect the normal and lawful business activities in Hong Kong, nor the freedom of speech and free flow of information that Hong Kong citizens enjoy.
