I now propose the question to you and that is That the National Flag and National Emblem Amendment Bill 2021 be read the Third time and do pass
第十三屆全國人民代表大會常務委員會在去年10月通過對《國旗法》及《國徽法》的修正，政府當局指出，《條例草案》的原則，是體現經修正的《國旗法》及《國徽法》的規定、原則和精神，保障國旗及國徽的正確使用，維護國旗及國徽作為國家的象徵和標誌的尊嚴，使市民尊重國旗及國徽，增強市民對國家觀念和弘揚愛國精神，同時兼顧香港特區的普通法法律制度及實際情況。
Last October the Standing Committee of the 13th National Peoples Congress endorsed the amendments to the National Flag Law and the National Emblem Law . According to the Administration the principle of the Bill is to reflect the provisions principles and spirit of the amended National Flag Law and the amended National Emblem Law safeguard the proper use and preserve the dignity of the national flag and the national emblem which are the symbols and signs of our country so as to promote respect for the national flag and national emblem enhance the sense of national identity among citizens and promote patriotism whilst taking into account our common law system and the actual circumstances in HKSAR
法案委員會與政府當局舉行了兩次會議，並且邀請了公眾人士提供書面意見。
The Bills Committee has held two meetings with the Administration and has invited members of the public to submit written views
委員支持《條例草案》的建議。
Members are supportive of the proposals in the Bill
委員主要關注在修例後，有哪些行為是有可能違法，以及怎樣會構成屬公開及故意侮辱國旗或國徽的行為。
They are mainly concerned about what behaviours could be in violation of the law after the legislative amendment and what behaviours will constitute publicly and intentionally desecrating the national flag or national emblem
委員察悉，《條例草案》第6條建議不得倒掛、倒插國旗，不得倒掛國徽；不得以任何有損國旗或國徽尊嚴的方式展示或使用國旗或國徽；以及不得隨意丟棄國旗或國徽。
Members have noted that clause 6 of the Bill proposes that a national flag or a national emblem must not be displayed upside down must not be displayed or used in any way that undermines the dignity of the national flag or the national emblem and must not be discarded at will
有委員關注，如果市民是不小心倒掛國旗或者把國旗橫放是否違法。
Some members have been concerned whether members of the public will violate the law if they inadvertently display the national flag upside down or the national emblem sideways
政府當局解釋，藉《條例草案》第10條引入的擬議新訂第7條，已訂明罪行的元素，即是公開及故意以焚燒、毀損、塗劃、玷污、踐踏國旗、國徽或其圖像的方式，或以其他方式，侮辱國旗或國徽，或故意發布以上述方式侮辱國旗或國徽的情況，而意圖是侮辱國旗或國徽。
As explained by the Administration the elements of the offences are provided under the proposed new section 7 as introduced in clause 10 of the Bill ie . to publicly and intentionally desecrate the national flag or national emblem by burning mutilating scrawling on defiling or trampling on it or its image or in any other way or to intentionally publish such a desecration with intent to desecrate the national flag or national emblem
該等條文全為指引性條文，不附帶罰則，有關安排依循經修正的《國旗法》及經修正的《國徽法》的安排，並與《國歌條例》一致。
These provisions are all directional provisions that do not carry any penalty . Such arrangement follows that of the amended National Flag Law and the amended National Emblem Law and is consistent with the National Anthem Ordinance NAO
政府當局表示，雖然上述指引性條文不附帶罰則，但任何人如違反我剛才提及的經修訂的《國旗及國徽條例》的擬議第7條，即屬犯罪，而有關的罰則水平最高可為第5級罰款及監禁3年。
The Administration has also advised that although the aforementioned directional provisions do not carry any penalty any person who violates the proposed section 7 of the amended NFNEO which I just mentioned would commit an offence whereas the level of penalty could be up to a fine at level 5 and to imprisonment for three years
委員亦問及，如果市民出於愛國動機及並非為了商業利益而製造了具有國旗圖案的紀念品又是否違法。
In addition some members have enquired whether it is in violation of the law if members of the public make souvenirs bearing the design of the national flag out of a patriotic motive and not for commercial interests
政府當局表示，根據《國旗及國徽條例》擬議第61條，上述情況並無違法，只要該等紀念品並非展示或使用於商標、註冊外觀設計或商業廣告、私人喪事活動，或行政長官以規定限制或禁止展示或使用國旗或其圖案的其他場合或場所，以及在該等紀念品上顯示的國旗或其圖案，是符合《國旗及國徽條例》附表1所訂明的規格。
As advised by the Administration the aforementioned case is not unlawful under the proposed section 61 of NFNEO as long as those souvenirs are not displayed or used in trademarks registered designs or commercial advertisements private funeral activities or other occasions on which or places at which the display or use of the national flag or its design is restricted or prohibited under the stipulations made by the Chief Executive and the national flag or its design shown on those souvenirs have followed the specifications stipulated in Schedule 1 to NFNEO
委員察悉，《條例草案》第7條建議在《國旗及國徽條例》加入新訂第4A條，訂明參與或出席升國旗儀式的禮儀。
As members have noted clause 7 of the Bill proposes to add a new section 4A to NFNEO to provide for the etiquette for taking part in or attending a national flag raising ceremony
委員要求政府當局廣泛宣傳相關條文需注意的事項，以加深公眾人士對參與或出席升國旗儀式的禮儀的認識。
Members have requested the Administration to widely publicize the points to note with regard to relevant provision to enhance the publics understanding of the etiquette for taking part in or attending a national flag raising ceremony
政府當局表示現正製作政府宣傳聲帶及短片，宣傳國旗、國徽及國歌，以及升國旗和奏唱國歌時應當遵守的禮儀。
The Administration has advised that it is working on Announcements of Public Interests APIs to promote the national flag national emblem and national anthem as well as the etiquette to be observed when the national flag is raised and when the national anthem is performed or played
此外，《條例草案》亦建議，規定教育局局長須就將國旗及國徽納入小學及中學教育發出指示；以及就有關每日升掛國旗及每周舉行升國旗儀式的事宜，向指明學校發出指示。
Moreover the Bill also proposes that the Secretary for Education should be required to give directions for the inclusion of the national flag and national emblem in primary and secondary education and for matters relating to the daily display of the national flag and the weekly conduct of a national flag raising ceremony to specified schools
擬議新訂第7A條亦訂明，就處理升掛國旗事宜而言，專上院校須參照教育局局長發出的指示。
The proposed new section 7A also provides that for dealing with flag display and raising matters post - secondary education institutions must make reference to the directions given by the Secretary for Education
委員關注到，日後如果有學校不遵從教育局局長的有關指示，將會有甚麼後果，以及當局會如何加強向教師提供在國旗及國徽教育方面的培訓。
Members have enquired about the consequences that schools would face for failures to comply with the relevant directions to be given by the Secretary for Education and how the Administration would strengthen the training for teachers on education in the national flag and national emblem
政府當局表示，教育局一直嚴格跟進在學校運作方面發現的任何違規事宜，並透過現有機制，例如發出口頭或書面警告或勸諭，要求學校作出糾正。如果有個別學校不遵從教育局的要求，教育局可行使《教育條例》相關條文所賦予的權力。在培訓及支援教師方面，政府當局表示，教育局會向學校提供更多相關學與教的資源。
The Administration has advised that the Education Bureau EDB has all along been stringently following up on any irregularities identified in school
代理主席，本人發言支持通過《2021年國旗及國徽條例草案》。
Deputy President I rise to speak in support of the passage of the National Flag and National Emblem Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
中華人民共和國的《國旗法》及《國徽法》是列入《基本法》附件三的全國性法律，根據《基本法》第十八條第二款，必須由香港特區在當地公布或立法實施，這是為了兼顧香港的普通法法律制度及實際情況，而香港特區已於1997年7月相應制定《國旗及國徽條例》。
The National Flag Law and the National Emblem Law of the Peoples Republic of China are the national laws listed in Annex III to the Basic Law which according to the Article 182 of the Basic Law shall be applied locally by way of promulgation or legislation by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR in order to accommodate the common law system and the actual circumstances in Hong Kong at the same time . Accordingly HKSAR enacted the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance NFNEO in July 1997
2020年10月17日，第十三屆全國人大常委會通過了關於《國旗法》及《國徽法》的修正草案，並於今年1月1日起實施。
On 17 October 2020 the Standing Committee of the 13th National Peoples Congress endorsed the amendments to the National Flag Law and the National Emblem Law which came into force on 1 January this year
因此，在法理上，香港特區有憲制責任在本港實施上述兩部經修正的全國性法律。
Therefore from the legal perspective HKSAR has the constitutional responsibility to implement these two amended national laws locally
這是《條例草案》出台的背景，其必要性是毫無疑問的。
Against such background the introduction of the Bill is undoubtedly necessary
代理主席，眾所周知，國旗及國徽是國家的象徵和標誌，全體國民都有責任維護國旗及國徽的尊嚴。
Deputy President it is common knowledge that the national flag and national emblem are the symbols and signs of our country that every citizen has the duty to safeguard their dignity
特區政府表明，《條例草案》的原則是要體現經全國人大常委會修正的《國旗法》及《國徽法》的規定、原則和精神，主要是保障國旗及國徽的正當使用，維護國旗及國徽的尊嚴，使市民尊重國旗及國徽，同時提高市民的國民身份認同感和弘揚愛國精神。
As expressly stated by the SAR Government the principle of the Bill is to reflect the provisions principles and spirit of the National Flag Law and the National Emblem Law both of which have been amended by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress essentially safeguard the proper use of the national flag and national emblem and preserve their dignity so as to promote respect for the national flag and national emblem while enhancing the sense of national identity among citizens and promoting patriotism
《條例草案》於今年8月18日提交本會，隨後本會成立了法案委員會進行審議。
The Bill was introduced to this Council on 18 August this year and a Bills Committee was subsequently formed for its scrutiny
同時，《條例草案》訂明不得以任何有損國旗或國徽尊嚴的方式展示或使用國旗或國徽，例如倒掛、倒插國旗或倒掛國徽，以及不得隨意丟棄國旗或國徽。
Meanwhile the Bill also stipulates that a national flag or a national emblem must not be displayed or used in any way that undermines the dignity of the national flag or the national emblem such as displaying a national flag or a national emblem upside down and must not be discarded at will
此外，《條例草案》亦訂明參與或出席升國旗儀式的禮儀。
Moreover the Bill provides for the etiquette for taking part in or attending a national flag raising ceremony as well
《條例草案》就國旗、國徽的製造，作出具體的規定，並訂明供懸掛的國徽須由中央人民政府所指定的企業製造，同時，禁止將國旗、國徽或其圖案展示或使用於註冊外觀設計、商業廣告或日常用品。
In respect of the manufacture of the national flag and national emblem the Bill lays down specific provisions and expressly provides that the national emblems for hanging have to be manufactured by enterprises designated by the Central Peoples Government . Also it prohibits the display or use of the national flag the national emblem or their designs in registered designs commercial advertisements or products in everyday life
政府當局強調，任何人若公開及故意以焚燒、毀損、塗劃、玷污、踐踏國旗、國徽或其圖像的方式或以其他方式侮辱國旗或國徽，或故意發布以上述方式侮辱國旗或國徽的情況，即屬犯罪，不論有關行為是在現實生活中，抑或在互聯網的虛擬世界中作出，而有關的罰則水平最高可為第5級罰款及監禁3年。
The Administration has emphasized that any person who publicly and intentionally desecrates the national flag or national emblem by burning mutilating scrawling on defiling or trampling on it or its image or in any other way or to intentionally publish such a desecration would commit an offence regardless of whether the behaviour is committed in the real life or the virtual world . The level of penalty can be up to a fine at level 5 ie . 50,000 and to imprisonment for three years
此外，警方在處理於海外作出的上述侮辱行為時，如有需要，會尋求海外執法機構的合作和協助。
What is more in dealing with the above mentioned desecrating acts that are committed overseas the Police will seek cooperation and assistance from overseas law enforcement agencies as necessary
代理主席，完善法例條文，明確罰則，固然重要，但同樣不容忽視的，是如何進一步推廣關於國旗及國徽的教育。
Deputy President admittedly it is important to improve the legislative provisions and specify the penalties but it is equally crucial to further promote education on the national flag and national emblem
《條例草案》有新訂條文，規定教育局局長就將國旗及國徽納入小學教育及中學教育發出指示，以及就有關每日升掛國旗及每周舉行升國旗儀式的事宜向學校發出指示。
The Bill consists of a new provision which requires the Secretary for Education to give directions for the inclusion of the national flag and national emblem in primary education and in secondary education; and for matters relating to the daily display of the national flag and the weekly conduct of a national flag raising ceremony to schools
法案委員會有部分委員建議，教育局局長需要就將國旗及國徽納入幼稚園教育發出指示，而獲大學教育資助委員會資助的大學所開設的國家安全教育課程，亦應涵蓋國旗及國徽教育，以讓所有在學學生都可以培養國民身份認同感。
Some of the Bills Committee members have proposed that the Secretary for Education should give directions for the inclusion of the national flag and national emblem in kindergarten education and that education on the national flag and national emblem should also be covered in the national security education courses run by the universities funded by the University Grants Committee so as to enable all students to develop the sense of national identity
為此，當局要增撥資源，向學校提供更多相關學與教的支援，包括加強培訓老師。
To this end the authorities should allocate additional resources to schools for the provision of more support for learning and teaching including strengthening the training for teachers
代理主席，為了避免市民誤墮法網，當局應就《條例草案》的主要內容，加強向公眾推廣和解釋，宣傳國旗、國徽及國歌，以及升國 旗和奏唱國歌時所需遵守的禮儀。
Deputy President in order to prevent the public from violating the law inadvertently the authorities should step up the efforts in publicizing and explaining the main contents of the Bill and promote the national flag national emblem and national anthem as well as the etiquette to be observed when the national flag is raised and when the national anthem is performed or played
除了利用傳統的聲音廣播和電視渠道，當局也應與時俱進，充分利用社交媒體平台，增強宣傳效果。
Apart from making use of the traditional audio broadcasting and television channels the authorities should also keep abreast of the times by fully utilizing the social media platforms to enhance the effectiveness of the publicity efforts
代理主席，法案委員會是支持《條例草案》在本會恢復二讀辯論的，而無論法案委員會還是政府當局，都沒有提出任何修正案，顯示社會各界對此沒有什麼爭議。
Deputy President the Bills Committee supports the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill in this Council . The absence of any amendment from the Bills Committee and the Administration indicates that various sectors of the community has no dispute about the Bill
一旦《條例草案》獲得通過，將自經制定的條例於憲報刊登當日起實施。
Once it is passed it will come into operation on the day on which the enacted Ordinance is published in the Gazette
這項條例草案旨在針對近年網上"起底"活動急增，修訂和訂立關於在未獲同意下披露個人資料的罪行，以及賦予個人資料私隱專員新的執法權力。
This Bill seeks to amend and enact legislation against offences relating to disclosing personal data without consent and confer new law enforcement power upon the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in response to the surge in doxxing activities on the Internet in recent years . Deputy President under the existing Personal Data Privacy Ordinance Cap
代理主席，根據現行的《個人資料條例》，若有人未經資料使用者同意而披露取自該資料使用者的個人資料，且該項披露導致該資料當事人蒙受心理傷害，即屬犯罪。
486 a person commits an offence if heshe discloses any personal data of a data subject obtained from a data user without the data users consent and the disclosure causes psychological harm to the data subject . Still there has been a surge in doxxing activities in recent years especially since June 2019 when disturbances arising from the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments arose
然而，近年"起底"活動激增，尤其是自2019年6月反修例風波發生以來，不少政府官員、執法者、公眾人物及其家人和朋友都被人肆意"起底"，個人資料經常在網上平台散布及轉載，相關資料當事人受到各種滋擾和極不恰當的對待，例如一些警員的子女被人"起底"之後，在學校遭到歧視甚至欺凌，以致弱小心靈受創。
Many government officials law enforcement officers public figures and their families and friends have been subjected to doxxing . With their personal data being frequently spread and reposted on online platforms the data subjects concerned have suffered from various harassment and extremely unreasonable treatment . For example the children of some police officers were subjected to prejudice and even got bullied at their schools after being doxxed thus traumatizing their young minds
儘管法庭曾經應有關方面的要求，批出多項臨時強制令，以保護特定群組或人士免被"起底"，但由於強制令屬於民事補救性質，違反強制令並不會留下刑事紀錄。
While the court has granted a number of interim injunction orders to protect specific groups or persons from being doxxed upon the applications by relevant parties any breach of the injunction orders will not result in any criminal record as injunctions are by nature civil remedies . Meanwhile as the existing provisions under Cap
同時，鑒於第486章的現行條文並非為處理這類"起底"個案而設，而個人資料私隱專員公署和警方在追尋"起底"內容的來源時，往往無法確定資料使用者的身份，以及有關的個人資料是否在未經資料使用者同意下取自該資料使用者，令執法行動遇到重大困難。
486 are not intended for addressing this type of doxxing cases the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data PCPD and the Police are often unable to ascertain the identity of the data user and whether the personal data was obtained from the data user without the data users consent which cause great difficulties to their law enforcement actions
因此，不但社會有強烈的訴求和聲音，執法當局也有迫切的需要，以盡快修訂現行條例，更有效地遏止"起底"行為。
Therefore it is not just a strong demand from the community but also a pressing need of the law enforcement authorities that the existing ordinance should be amended expeditiously to curb doxxing acts in a more effective manner
《條例草案》於今年7月21日提交本會，隨後本會成立了法案委員會進行審議。
The Bill was introduced into this Council on 21 July this year and a Bill Committee was subsequently formed to scrutinize it
作為法案委員會的委員，我認為《條例草案》的主要內容和其涉及的一些爭議，都值得大家關注。
As a member of the Bills Committee I think the main content of the Bill and some of the controversies involved warrant our attention
就未經資料當事人同意披露個人資料，《條例草案》引入兩級制的兩項新罪行。
Regarding the disclosure of personal data without the data subjects consent the Bill introduces two new offences under a two - tier structure
第一級罪行是簡易程序罪行，披露者如果意圖導致該資料當事人或其家人蒙受任何指明傷害，或罔顧是否會導致該當事人或其家人蒙受任何指明傷害，即屬干犯第一級罪行，可處第6級罰款及監禁2年。
The first tier offence is a summary offence . A discloser commits the first tier offence and may be liable to a fine at level 6 and imprisonment for two years if heshe has an intent to cause any specified harm or is being reckless as to whether any specified harm would be caused to the data subject or hisher family members
第二級罪行是可公訴罪行，如果某人披露個人資料，而此項披露包含第一級罪行的元素，並且對資料當事人或其家人實際造成任何指明傷害，即屬犯罪，一經循公訴程序定罪，可處罰款100萬元及監禁5年。
The second tier offence is an indictable offence . A person commits the offence if in addition to the elements of the first tier offence any specified harm is actually caused to the data subject or hisher family members as a result of the disclosure . Any person who is convicted on indictment may be liable to a fine of 1 million and imprisonment for five years
其中"指明傷害"的涵義包括對該人的滋擾、騷擾、纏擾、威脅或恐嚇；對該人的身體傷害或心理傷害；導致該人合理地擔心其安全或福祉的傷害；或該人的財產受損。
Under these offences specified harm means harassment molestation pestering threat or intimidation to the person; bodily harm or psychological harm to the person; harm causing the person reasonably to be concerned for the persons safety or well - being; or damage to the property of the person
根據政府當局向委員提供的資料，新加坡、新西蘭及澳洲等司法管轄區就"起底"罪行施加的罰則，與《條例草案》建議的罰則相若。
According to the information provided by the Administration to members the penalties for doxxing offences in other jurisdictions such as Singapore New Zealand and Australia are similar to those proposed in the Bill
更值得注意的是，現時，私隱公署在第486章下並沒有處理刑事個案的調查及檢控權力，難免被一些人視為"無牙老虎"。
It is worth noting that at present PCPD lacks investigative and prosecution powers in handling criminal cases under Cap . 486
《條例草案》將授予私隱專員對相關罪行的調查及執法權力，同時，私隱專員能用本身的名義檢控某些罪行。
The Bill will confer investigative and enforcement powers in relation to the relevant offences upon the Commissioner and at the same time the Commissioner can prosecute certain offences in hisher own name
大家都認同這項改革，但部分委員關注私隱公署有否足夠人力資源和相關的經驗以執行新的調查及檢控工作。
All of us support this change but some members have been concerned whether PCPD has adequate manpower resources and the relevant experience to undertake the new investigation and prosecution work
當局表示，私隱公署將申請額外資源，並會聘請具有專業知識的合資格人員，以及加強對員工的相關培訓。
The authorities have advised that PCPD will request additional resources employ qualified staff with expertise and step up the relevant training for its staff
如有需要，私隱公署將與警方採取聯合行動。
Where necessary it will conduct joint operation with the Police
這個機制旨在盡快移除"起底"信息，從而減輕資料當事人及其家人蒙受的傷害。
This mechanism aims at expeditiously removing doxxing messages in order to reduce the harm caused to the data subjects and their family members
不過，原本擬議的條文中，有一項免責辯護，即就某被控違反停止披露通知的人，如確立由於有招致民事法律責任的風險存在，期望該人遵從該通知是不合理的，即為免責辯護。
However there is a defence under the original proposed provisions and that is it is a defence for a person charged with violation of a cessation notice to establish that it was not reasonable to expect himher to comply with the notice because there was a risk of incurring a civil liability
部分委員質疑此免責辯護的涵蓋範圍過於廣泛，會削弱私隱專員的相關權力及執法能力。
Some members have questioned whether such defence is too wide in scope that it may undermine the relevant power and capability of law enforcement of the Commissioner
政府當局亦從善如流，表明將在全體委員會審議階段動議一項修正案，刪去上述條文，改為加入新訂的一項豁免條文，保障接獲停止披露通知的人無須承擔因遵從該通知而可能招致的民事法律責任。
The Administration has been receptive to their views and has made it clear that it will propose a Committee stage amendment to delete the aforementioned provision and replace it with a new immunity clause which will protect the recipient of a cessation notice from potential civil liability arising from compliance with the cessation notice
總括而言，法案委員會支持恢復《條例草案》的二讀辯論，也支持政府當局擬動議的修正案。
To conclude the Bills Committee supports the resumption of the Second Reading of the Bill and the amendments which the Administration intends to move
代理主席，要有效遏止各類近年越演越烈的"起底"行為，除了修訂法例，加強私隱公署和私隱專員的執法權力和能力，同時也應加強公眾教育和宣傳，推廣反"起底"的信息，特別是加強向兒童及年輕人推廣保障自己的個人資料私隱和尊重他人的個人資料私隱的重要性，以及提醒相關網站和社交平台的營運商，需慎防其平台被濫用而淪為侵犯個人資料私隱的工具，以免觸犯法例。
Deputy President in order to effectively curb various doxxing acts which have become increasingly rampant in recent years the Government should strengthen public education and publicity to promote anti - doxxing messages in addition to making legislative amendments to enhance the law enforcement power and capability of PCPD and the Commissioner . In particular it should step up its efforts in promoting among children and young people the importance of protecting their personal data privacy and respecting that of the others . Also operators of relevant websites and social media platforms should be reminded that they should stay vigilant to prevent their platforms from being abused as a tool for infringing personal data privacy so as to avoid violation of the law
社會各界也應致力傳播正能量，共同抵制不良的社會風氣和網絡行為，養成堅決向"起底"行為說不的習慣，才可望做到治標兼治本。
What is more different sectors of society should work at spreading positive energy and resisting undesirable social trend and online behaviours together by making it a habit to say no to doxxing acts in a resolute manner . It is only in this way that we can hopefully resolve the problem both expediently and permanently
代理主席，我發言支持《2021年個人資料條例草案》的二讀。
Deputy President I speak in support of the Second Reading of the Personal Data Privacy Amendment Bill 2021 the Bill
《條例草案》開宗明義針對"起底"行為，建議訂為《個人資料條例》下的刑事罪行，並賦權個人資料私隱專員進行刑事調查和檢控，以及賦予私隱專員法定權力送達停止披露通知並申請強制令等。
The Bill makes clear at the outset that it targets doxxing behaviour . It proposes to criminalize doxxing acts as an offence under the Personal Data Privacy Ordinance PDPO empower the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to carry out criminal investigations and institute prosecution confer on the Commissioner statutory powers to serve cessation notices and apply for injunctions and so on
我認為這次修訂是遲來的正義，但遲到總比不到好。
I hold that this amendment is a case of belated justice but it is better late than never
事實上，本會大部分同事和我本人也是惡意"起底"行為的受害者；住址、電話號碼等個人資料被公開，引起個人及家人的各種不便，甚至令他們擔心人身安全受威脅，而泄漏者卻難以追査，張貼泄漏資料的平台亦無須負上任何責任，對資料被泄漏的受害者而言是極大的不公義。
In fact most of our colleagues and I are also victims of malicious doxxing . The disclosure of personal data such as residential addresses and telephone numbers has caused various inconveniences to individuals and their families and even left them worried about their personal safety . However it is difficult to trace the leaker and the platform where the leaked data is posted does not have to bear any responsibility
近日一宗案件涉及一名入境事務處文書助理濫用職權，獲取包括官員、政要、法官、警員、立法會議員，以至藝人等215人的個人資料，供網上"起底"群組發布。
This is a great injustice to the victims of data leakage . A recent case involves a clerical assistant of the Immigration Department abusing her power to obtain personal data of 215 people including government officials political dignitaries judges police officers Legislative Council Members and even artistes for online publication in a doxxing group
事實上，近年"起底"行為極為嚴重，並有普遍化的趨勢。
As a matter of fact doxxing activities have intensified and emerged as a general trend in recent years
尤其在前年，反修例運動引發的街頭暴力猖獗，仇恨和暴力伸延至網上世界，社會上不同政見人士被"起底"，個人資料隨處被公布及被利用作針對、欺凌、滋擾和威嚇，保護私隱成為空話。
In particular the year before last saw rampant street violence being triggered by the movement of opposition to the proposed legislative amendments hatred and violence spreading to the online world and members of the community with different political views being doxxed . Personal data was published and used everywhere for targeting bullying harassment and intimidation turning privacy protection into lip service
