Hong Kong Announces Ban on Masks and Face Paint That Helps Protesters Evade Facial Recognition, which we can see the Hong Kong Chief Executive was lazy and uncreative. Because the Anti-Mask law was not a new thing, and it has implemented in many area.
According to the Wikipedia, "
Anti-mask or anti-masking laws are legislative or penal initiatives that seek to stop individuals from concealing their faces, who do so often to not be identified or out of religious practice". This law seems like really go against the human basic right, but many democratic countries got this law, and here is part of the list: Canada, France, Germany and Italy etc.
Additionally, a number of states in the US had this law, and some of them are still practicing today. I don't know why people are afraid of revealing identity if they believe they are peacefully doing the right thing. Mask is same as the internet in some way since we can just be keyboard warriors under this cover.
