| FB Concern Group documents shop closures in Hong Kong |
A Facebook group called "HK Business Closure News Concern Group" started documenting all the shops and restaurants that shuttered recently. Members could post pictures of places they saw that had closed or were closing, and others would comment that they shopped there, or ate there.
The Facebook group quickly garnered 100,000 members, then 200,000 then up to 315,000.
But then on Wednesday the Facebook group announced that it would be "closing down" to the shock of many.
However the administrator clarified later that the group wasn't closing down, but in fact changing its name to "Hong Kong Stores News Awareness Group", changing the tone to be more neutral.
Some say this is because someone related to the Hong Kong government complained the group was focused on bad news stories and should stop doing this...
But what is wrong with documenting the fact that shops and restaurants are closing down? It is a public service announcement...
