譚耀宗稱被扣港人家屬如希望國際插手未必有好處
12名涉嫌偷越國(邊)境犯罪的港人，被刑事拘留在深圳鹽田公安分局已20多天。全國人大常委譚耀宗在本台節目《千禧年代》說，家屬關心案件及希望特區政府協助，是很合理的事，但如果希望國際插手，未必對事情有好處。對於家屬委託的律師一直未能會見當事人，譚耀宗說，從公開資料得知，被拘留人士已經有官方委派的律師，因此不需要其他律師。他又說，偷越國(邊)境罪並非嚴重罪行，最多判囚一年，但未知調查期間會否發現相關人士有沒有牽涉其他罪行，至於其中一名涉嫌觸犯港區安全法的港人，會否由內地處理，則有待執法部門研究。

Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
For some time, Mr. Durov and a few dozen staffers had no fixed headquarters, but rather traveled the world, setting up shop in one city after another, he told the Journal in 2016. The company now has its operational base in Dubai, though it says it doesn’t keep servers there.Mr. Durov maintains a yearslong friendship from his VK days with actor and tech investor Jared Leto, with whom he shares an ascetic lifestyle that eschews meat and alcohol.
