Speaker:
Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data
Measures to Combat Doxxing
In light of the prevalence of doxxing acts in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Government has enforced new changes to its data privacy law and the Personal Data (Privacy) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021 (Amendment Ordinance) came into effect recently to tackle these acts. The acts of doxxing very often are done via internet platforms.
At this event, the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Ms Ada CHUNG Lai-ling, will be joining us to explain the Amendment Ordinance to combat doxxing, including:
- creating specific doxxing offences;
- empowering the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Privacy Commissioner) to carry out criminal investigations and institute prosecutions; and
- conferring statutory powers on the Privacy Commissioner to direct the removal of doxxing messages.
Ada will also explain what the amendments mean for businesses operating in Hong Kong.
Join us to hear first-hand from Ada and to enhance your understanding on the latest data privacy laws.
