All this "article" says is that Hong Kong protesters are using two hashtags on twitter, while giving no further information on the nature or purpose of the protests.
Much better to read the linked Independent piece: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/hong-kong-protest-why-are-prodemocracy-supporters-staging-a-sitin-9760234.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/hong-kong-prote...
- notjackma 12y agoCan you add this live stream to your comment so others can see it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4q8fs8gTIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4q8fs8gTIs The live stream has been covering the whole protest and also shows recaps (picture in picture). Jimmy Lai, who has been seen protesting in a poncho and goggles, owns a media empire in Hong Kong, including the Apple Daily newspaper which runs this YouTube channel. From a tech perspective, they've been running without interruption and they even used a drone, I think a helicopter, to take footage swooping over and around the protestors and police.
- bendoernberg 12y agoThis has been, by far, the best produced livestream I've ever seen. Maybe it's just due to stationary locations for some of the cameras and better bandwidth, but it's on another level.
