[Staff complaints: @Apple bans staff from wearing colours associated w/ #hkprotests]

1. I've received complaints by @Apple store staff in #HK who blasted the company for conducting political censorship by banning them from wearing yellow masks or those printed with "HongKong".

2. 2. Also, @Apple allegedly imposed restrictive guidelines, requiring workers not to wear yellow or black in their memoji which will be displayed on their lanyards. Managers even threatened employees with the sack if they refused to change their memoji.

3. If it is really the case, it will be unbelievably scandalous if tech giants like @Apple help #Beijing to impose Chinese-style censorship at the workplace and suppress the city's vanishing freedoms of expression.

4. It is even more outrageous, while universities like Princeton try all means to protect their students from the threats of #nationalsecuritylaw, our tech giants just once again kowtow to #Beijing.

5. When Apple spoke out against oppression during #BlackLivesMatter & #PrideMonth, we hope @Apple & @tim_cook can also safeguard our vanishing liberties under the new sweeping security law and clarify their stances on how to protect their workers’ rights of expression in future.
