Hong Kong ISP blocks access to pro-democracy website under national security law

A Hong Kong internet service provider on Thursday said it had blocked access to a pro-democracy website to comply with the city’s national security law.

"We have disabled the access to the website in compliance with the requirement issued under the National Security Law," the company said. The chief editor of the site, Naomi Chan, said in a post last week that users in Hong Kong reported the site as inaccessible. She accused telecommunications companies such as SmarTone, China Mobile Hong Kong, PCCW and Hong Kong Broadband Network of blocking it.
