HKBN blocks protest website Hong Kong Chronicles

Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) said on Thursday it blocked the website for Hong Kong Chronicles in compliance with the national security law.

A spokesperson of HKBN confirmed the blockage to Reuters in an email.

Hong Kong Chronicles is a website that publishes material mainly related to anti-government protests in 2019.

The blockage marks the first time the authorities in the city have used a sweeping national security law to censor an internet website.
