Are they seriously expecting Hong Kong people to back a facial recognition startup? "Hey, guys, we know you've been cutting down facial recognition cameras but how about you actually buy in?" These people have been fighting for their freedom for weeks, using Telegram to coordinate protests and provide shelter and medical help to those hounded by the 'police', using non-violent (largely) methods to fight back against opression... And now a Chinese state-sponsored startup wants to get money from them? How's that going to work? Even the article states that the company is losing money and seems to be getting worse. Pretty sure Hong Kong citizens would rather invest into something like Telegram/Signal or a means of resistance to state-sponsored surveillance (EMP devices, masks, signal scramblers, etc.)
