I live in HK and have used the app which is nothing more than a very crude web portal, doesn’t show English Street names (an official language here) and the police are depicted using the Dog emoji as well as the police car. This is conveniently left off the headline photo! The use of dog to describe the police is actually a derogatory term and maybe in part why the app was taken down, and certainly the app could have just as easily have been used to organise against the police as well as it’s intended purpose to warn of their presence. Don’t assume that because the words freedom and democracy are associated with all of this that everything is as clear cut as it might seem!
