沒有更膠，只有更膠
（呢個歷史物品點樣歧視法呢？）
University of York响無人投訴嘅情況下，响一個網上講座自行刪除一張十七世紀由日本傳入英國「非禮勿視、非禮非聽、非禮勿說」嘅馬騮擺設相片，因為驚比人覺得係歧視有色人種，即時比全國專家圍插。
大英博物館發言人表示𢱑頭（ “no idea” why they might be deemed controversial），然後到歷史學家就話，喂識唔識㗎，當時日本覺得馬騮係神性，代表傳達神嘅啟示（“That would be wrong because the monkey is a sacred being. They are vehicles of the deities.”）。
事實上，2013年已經有左膠破壞呢類三隻馬騮嘅古董被控告，佢地用歧視理由做辯護理由，當時英國法院已經否決咗，話無正常人會覺得會將呢三隻馬騮演譯為歧視（"no reasonable person would interpret their use of the monkeys as racist"）。
P.S. 雖然英國都有唔少左膠，不過好彩還有理性嘅人會衝出黎圍咬，傳媒亦都會繼續如實報導，如果响美國，唔知會唔會好多跳出黎大聲讚好，然後要消滅所有呢類古董呢？
BTW，啲Emoji🙈🙉🙊會唔會歧視hard feeling㗎？

The silent revolution (Lee Yee)
Before democrats’ primaries, except for one or two Hong Kong government officials jibber-jabbering sporadically, major bureaucrats from Beijing and Hong Kong had been very reticent about it. But afterward, Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and Carrie Lam denounced in tandem that the primaries were a breach of the Basic Law, the National Security Law as well as the electoral law, yet without uttering which article of them. Why? Perhaps it was due to another wrongly projected scenario by the Chinese Communist Party. In view of the media being nonchalant about the primaries and Tai Yiuting being unconfident in drawing in one-tenth of the pro-democracy electorate(170 thousand voters), they had thought that citizens were apathetic towards the primaries. If that was what it all amounted to, there was nothing to worry about, and they would surely be glad to see it end in fiasco.
Who would have thought that as many as 610 thousand voters who had kept a low profile would have swarmed the polling stations to take the whole world aback? Though the communist China and Hong Kong hastily took remedial actions right away, it was already too late. The primaries already shocked the world.
A wise young man has called on me lately. He put forward a few questions, the first of which was: Which four among all major events in the past year including 6.9, 6.12, 6.16, 7.1, 7.21, 8.31, siege to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Polytechnic University do you pick to best encapsulate the entire course of the movement?
My answer was: Being a watcher and critic, I’m far from being able to encapsulate the entire movement, but since the start of the anti-extradition movement, there have been a lot of incidents boggling my mind, or more specifically getting me awakened, while changing my perceptual knowledge thoroughly.
The first event is 6.12. Before that day, I had not believed the extradition amendment bill would be laid aside for the communist China and Hong Kong’s resolve was so decided and the pro-establishment faction, the majority in the Legislative Council, had declared support for it, not to mention the government proclaimed on the night right after the 6.9 one million people demonstration that the Second Reading debate on the bill would be resumed. I was concerned about the safety of the protesters who charged, and deemed the radical behaviors useless. Though I understood why the young people did so, I did not find the valiant attempts in the protests desirable. After 6.12, my conception has altered and the five appeals put forward since have been prevailing.
The second event is 6.28. Nothing happened in Hong Kong that day when leaders of various countries converged for G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. Less than a week before, some young people had advocated crowdfunding 3 million dollars for advertising on front pages of influential newspapers in different languages all around the world. Fundraising aside, based on my half-a-century experience in news publication, it is hardly possible to pull it off. But they did it jaw-droppingly well beyond doubt. Even though the leaders of G20 did not react forthwith, the global attention being drawn to Hong Kong and the Hong Kong’s story being ushered into the international arena by the advertisement are indisputable facts. The thought-provoking courage of the young people reshaped my appraisal of the new generation of Hong Kong.
The third event is 7.21+8.31. This two-in-one incident totally transmuted my impression on Hong Kong police. Citizens come into contact with police officers more than any civil servants. The complexion of the police is the complexion of the city. When police officers become public security officers, Hong Kong becomes a place I am no longer familiar with.
The forth event is siege to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Polytechnic University plus the District Council election. Before the District Council voting, young people had kept on charging valiantly with support from the public, and some citizens had complained about traffic inconvenience caused by the protests. When the day of election was nearing, the society was surprisingly peaceful. Would ordinary citizens, mostly self-absorbed, support the protest? In the end, the turnout and results of the election were dumb-founding. The misjudgement by communist China and Hong Kong became laughingstock. The Chinese officials in charge of Hong Kong affairs stepped down or got demoted.
Every time my mind was boggled, I came at something in one way or another and was somehow awakened through self-reflection. Looking at the primaries of democrats under the threat of the National Security Law, I realized that Hong Kongers on the whole have completely mutated in the past year. All the events that all citizens can take part have been undergoing fundamental changes. Those who keep a low profile will creep into our view to take us aback.
A silent revolution is ongoing. There is no turning back for Hong Kong. When Hong Kongers reminisce about the current “darkest hour” in future, they will find out that in fact that was the “best time”.

YouTube was first launched in 2005, and now has become one of the most visited websites in the history of the internet.
Before 2012, YouTube paid content creators based on the number of views. Even though a 5-second video was deemed successful depending on the view count, which posed the problems of “clickbait” titles and thumbnails. Since 2012, YouTube started measuring “View Duration” and used that as the metric. For those videos being viewed longer, they were likely to be promoted in search engines and have more financial rewards to the content creators. This decision has changed how YouTube videos were recommended and rewarded.
YouTube’s recommendation algorithms connect the existing channels based on users’ watch histories, preferences and overlap. Harvard’s researchers claimed that the pre-selection factors remained unknown. With all of those suggested videos in the sidebar, people tend to click into unfamiliar topics due to curiosity. YouTube has long been criticized for spreading misinformation. Jonas Kaiser, the affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, described the recommendation progress as a “rabbit hole effect” in which leading viewers to more extreme contents.
