7 月10 日，香港傳媒《本土新聞》報道指收到《明報》記者查詢《本土新聞》轉載一張關於余澎杉（Amos Yee）的二次創作改圖，被淫褻物品審裁處評為淫褻的事件。同日，《明報》發表獨家報道稱該報「本周初將涉案的改圖送交香港淫褻物品審裁處評級，希望比較兩地的準則異同」。

鍵盤戰線認為從過往淫審處多宗有乖倫常的案例（大衛像、叮噹漫畫等）可見，若《明報》不對審裁處之評級上訴並跟進報道，即變相引清兵入關，為政府以作品屬淫褻、不雅等藉口限制發佈，甚至檢控創作（包括二次創作）和轉載（包括報道/評論作品）的人士打開缺口。更甚者，此例非單涉及二次創作，更含有政治元素，或會為政治檢控的名堂再獻新猷！

鍵盤戰線提醒市民如果不對此裁決提出上訴，任何人再發布及轉載有關圖片甚至連結都可能違法，根據香港法例第390章《淫褻及不雅物品管制條例》，最高可判罰款100萬及監禁3年。

故此，鍵盤戰線強烈要求《明報》作為事件的始作俑者對有關裁定立即提出上訴，以保障市民的表達及創作自由。

Demand Ming Pao Daily to Appeal the Decision of the Obscene Articles Tribunal Regarding the Secondary Creation of Amos Yee

On 10 July, Local Press reported that they have received an enquiry from a reporter of Ming Pao Daily about their publication of the secondary creation by Amos Yee which has been classified by the Obscene Articles Tribunal as a Class III article. On the same day, Ming Pao Daily published an exclusive news that they have submitted the relevant secondary creation to the Obscene Articles for classification to compare the different standards of the two cities.

Keyboard Frontline reckons that if Ming Pao Daily does not file an appeal of the decision, it will open the flood gate for the authorities to abuse the classification system of an article or even to use it as an excuse to prosecute different types of creation (including secondary creation) and distribution of such works (including report/ critics of these works) as seen by the fact that the Tribunal has made absurd decisions in the past (picture of the Renaissance sculpture, David, being classified as an indecent article; Doraemon classified as Class II on the ground that the comic might mislead readers to believe in reaping without sowing ). Last but not least, the relevant creation by Amos Yee contains political message, classifying it as a Class III article provides the authorities a grand reason for political repression.

Keyboard Frontline reminds citizens that should Ming Pao Daily decide not to appeal the decision, anyone who redistributes or republishes the relevant graphic or even the hyperlink of it may be subject to a maximum penalty of a one-million-Hong-Kong dollar fine and 3-year imprisonment according to the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap 390).

Therefore, Keyboard Frontline demands Ming Pao Daily, as the one who opened the pandora box, to file an appeal of the decision immediately to protect the freedom of expression and speech of the citizens.
