In an op-ed for the South China Morning Post, Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Ada Chung said Hong Kong’s anti-doxxing privacy law “heralds a new era in the regulatory protection of personal data.” The Personal Data (Privacy) (Amendment) Ordinance criminalizes disclosure of an individual’s personal data without consent and empowers the commissioner to conduct criminal investigations and institute prosecution for doxxing-related offences. Chung said the law “effectively combats the crime by increasing the privacy commissioner’s enforcement powers.”
