香港特區政府於 2021 件 6 月 16 日刊憲，將在 2021 年 7 月 21 日（星期三）進行有關《私隱條例》草案修訂之首讀及開始二讀辯論。香港互聯網協會對此表示關注及憂慮，保障個人私隱是對社會有益的倡議，但協會認為是次修例賦予私隱專員過大權力，將影響本港的資訊自由，與國際社會多年一直推動開放、不受限制的互聯網的理念背道而馳。

第十三屆全國人大代表大會通過「港區國安法」，令公眾憂慮到香港政府本地立法後將以國安法限制互聯網及通訊服務、封鎖網絡平台、審查互聯網或限制資訊流通等。香港互聯網協會憂慮，若香港無法維持資訊自由流通，將對本港的創新科技發展及可靠營商環境帶來極大影響。

“Lester Shum asked by DoJ to remove article about the death of Alex Chow” — a proof that online freedom of speech remains under attack by the injunction
儘管在我們入稟覆核政府的禁制令後，法庭頒令收窄範圍，釐清在執行上必須要確保發布及散播內容人士是有意圖煽動暴力，但是岑敖暉收到律政司信件，被要求移除有關周梓樂之死的文章一事，證明網絡自由繼續受到衝擊。 我們擔憂政府可以透過濫用禁制令廣泛而含糊不清的條文，威脅香港資訊流通的自由，因此我們當時入稟覆核禁制令。然而，我們對於律政司在法庭釐清禁制令後，指控岑敖暉煽動暴力，要求他移除文章感到失望。我們亦十分擔憂律政司的行動將擴大寒蟬效應和白色恐怖，進一步摧毀我們在網上發表言論的自由 —— 我們不應忍受政府不斷擴張的審查力量。 多得各位參與眾籌，我們入稟覆核後仍餘下大約港幣一百三十萬，可以用於對抗政府威脅網絡及言論自由的舉動。針對律政司要求移除文章，我們正在與律師團隊商討任何可能的法律行動。我們會繼續保持警惕，維護開放和自由的網絡；我們亦呼籲你一起並肩捍衛網絡及言論自由。 Although the court narrowed the scope, and clarified that only those with the intent and purpose to incite violence will be found guilty after our civil action challenging the injunction, the letter received by Lester Shum requiring removal of the article about Alex Chow’s death proves that online freedom of speech is…
