Too many leftist journalists are showing an imperialist arrogance in claiming the US is behind the mass democracy protest in Hong Kong, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff, a veteran journalist with five years experience in Hong Kong.
As throngs of pro-democracy protesters continue to organize in Hong Kong's central business district, many of them are messaging one another through a network that doesn't require cell towers or Wi-Fi nodes. They're using an app called FireChat that launched in March and is underpinned by mesh networking, which lets phones unite to form a temporary Internet.
Democracy activists on the streets of Hong Kong were told this week that they were wasting their time and that they had "almost zero chance" of achieving their goals of free and fair elections in 2017. There is no doubt that the odds seem stacked against this protest movement as they face down the might of Beijing.
Social media has been a catalyzing force in revolutions around the world. In the past few weeks, Hong Kong has seen its own youth-led uprising, and again turned to social media for solidarity and communication.
Pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong mobilizing en mass via a peer-to-peer messaging app is just the tip of the iceberg for the technology, says Micha Benoliel, CEO of Open Garden.
Hong Kong is often considered a global financial center and the city's stock exchange one of the most important in the world. But the city is also home to many alternative exchanges based not on money and stocks, but on sharing.
