Impact of Thousands More Security Cameras in Hong Kong
The recent plan to install 2,000 more security cameras in Hong Kong has been backed by the police chief, Raymond Siu. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance surveillance in the city. As of August 2023, Hong Kong already had over 7.3 million surveillance cameras installed, with the number expected to continue growing.
The increased surveillance is aimed at improving public safety and crime prevention. However, critics have raised concerns about the potential impact on citizens’ privacy and the potential for misuse of the data collected by these cameras.
Additionally, the integration of advanced technologies like facial recognition and AI into the surveillance system has raised further concerns about data security and privacy.
