Facebook, Google and Twitter have threatened to leave Hong Kong

The world's largest technology companies, such as Facebook, Google and Twitter, have threatened to withdraw their services from Hong Kong. Hong Kong's new data protection law may force technology companies to decide to shut down their services in the city.

This was reported by Engadget, a US technology website, citing the Asian Internet Alliance (AIC), an industry group representing several of the world's top technology companies. The report says the main goal of Hong Kong's new data protection law is to prevent 'docking' or harassment by disclosing people's personal information online. And if this malicious act is proven, then the technology companies will be responsible for it.

The report added that if the Hong Kong government failed to remove the posts, local workers at the technology company could face legal action. If convicted, the individual faces a fine of HK ১০ 10 million (approximately

127,800) and up to five years in prison.

However, on June 25, AIC wrote a letter to the Hong Kong government on behalf of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple and LinkedIn. Where they express their concern about these new changes in the law.
