That's great, but this:

> They will have 30 days to offboard from our advertising products, after which we will stringently enforce these policies.

Means it probably won't apply to the Hong Kong propaganda, which is what brought it to people's attention in the first place.



You expect that to be resolved in 30 days ?


One way or another, pretty much. We've reached a boiling point in only a couple of weeks. I don't see the standoff lasting another month.


A couple of weeks since what? The Hong Kong protests started on March 31st.


It seems you're right... not sure what I was thinking. Still, it feels like we're on the precipice of something happening. I think 30 days from now the damage from the propaganda will have been done.


Agreed. I understand giving most organizations a 30 day grace period, but it would be great if they made an exception and cut off such a clear-cut offender immediately.


A couple of weeks since he heard of them. Which is the only thing that matters in 2019. And they will stop once he stops hearing about them.


It's not about one particular law. It's about China's steady erosion of Hong Kong values.

So these protests will likely continue off and on for years.
