Ng Man-ho, a 27-year-old computer technician, was convicted last month of seven counts of incitement charges after he made use of the 100,000-member Chinese-language channel that he runs and manages to post "seditious messages," which had been shut down since August 2020. End-to-end encryption is an important feature in messaging, as it's the first step in protecting users from surveillance. In the “Bear Market Screaming Therapy Group” on Telegram, members are only allowed to post voice notes of themselves screaming. Anything else will result in an instant ban from the group, which currently has about 75 members. The Channel name and bio must be no more than 255 characters long As five out of seven counts were serious, Hui sentenced Ng to six years and six months in jail.
