The police reiterated that the Internet is not an unreliable virtual world. According to the current laws in Hong Kong, most of the laws aimed at preventing crimes in the real world are applicable to the Internet world. The police reminded the public that "conspiracy or instigation of murder" is a serious crime. Once convicted, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment; while "inciting others to commit criminal damage" can be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years' imprisonment. People should not try the law by themselves.
