TVB denounced illegal acts committed online and offline.

Hong Kong police have arrested a Form Six pupil for posting online messages in an alleged attempt to get people to boycott more than 100 businesses that advertised with free-to-air broadcaster TVB.
Without naming the station, police said on Thursday the 18-year-old male suspect was found to have posted messages on a Facebook group since May last year and encouraged others to blacklist advertisers to try to cause reputational and financial losses to a broadcaster.
A force insider said the teenager – who was the Facebook group’s administrator – had invited internet users to post “angry face” emojis on the site and boycott firms that had placed adverts with Television Broadcasts, a frequent target of anti-government protesters during the city’s social unrest in 2019.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and eTurboNews have been in contact regarding the ongoing situation with protests in the city. The HKTB wishes to assure visitors that Hong Kong remains a safe destination.
The Tourism Board is encouraging travelers to contact HKTB to find out information about the city by visiting their website which provides updates every 60 seconds. There is also a link to connect daily to a Live Chat from 9 am to 6 pm, Hong Kong time.
