YouGov Hong Kong requested me to drop some survey items as they might violate the HK NSL. According to the local team, the legal advice was made by local lawyers as well as YouGov’s legal sections in the APAC team in Singapore and the UK headquarter.

I am delighted to announce that I have joined the School of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University (早稻田大學) as a professor of political communication. I am excited to collaborate with both new and old friends in Tokyo, my hometown.
I suspect NSL is merely an excuse. I don't believe the gov will be prosecuted for violating NSL, nor do I believe that they're benevolent enough to consider the legal risk to academics. Rather, I think the gov doesn't want to leave any solid evidence about public opinion in 2019.

justifying the assault on HK freedom: “Critical thinking does not mean training people to criticize or attack.” Actually, critical thinking does mean training people to thoughtfully criticize. Democracy requires it.
