This course is specially designed especially those who rely heavily on the Internet and third-party services in their daily business. With the promulgation of laws such as the Hong Kong National Security Law (to be implemented in 2020) and the "Maintenance of National Security Ordinance" (to be implemented in 2024), network users, network service providers and network platform providers are facing unprecedented information security challenges. This course is designed to provide them with an in-depth understanding of the impact of these laws on freedom of information, data protection and business operations. By participating in this course, overseas Hong Kong residents will learn how to properly manage their information security risks under the new situation of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the upcoming "Maintenance of National Security Ordinance" (i.e., Article 23 of the Basic Law).
The course will provide practical guidance to help students better understand the details of legal enforcement and prosecution and teach them how to take effective measures to mitigate the potential risks these laws bring to daily business operations and ensure that they are safe when using the Internet and relying on third-party services. Under such circumstances, data security and information freedom can still be guaranteed.
