Hong Kong police on Tuesday accused a mobile game application of advocating armed revolution and promoting secessionist agendas, saying that those who publish it or share it with others online might risk violating national security laws.
The announcement — the first to publicly denounce a gaming app — indicates that authorities are widening the crackdown that followed anti-government protests in 2019. Authorities have crushed or silenced many dissenting voices through prosecutions under the territory’s 2020 National Security Law imposed by Beijing and a similar, homegrown law enacted last year.
In a statement, police warned residents against downloading the Reversed Front: Bonfire app, saying those with the app installed might be seen as possessing a publication with a seditious intention.
