On 8 November 2025, the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (OFNAA) visited the Hong Kong Customs College and conducted a youth talk themed "Wise Use of Internet" for members of the "Customs YES". Through an interesting and interactive manner, the talk aimed to promote to Customs YES members the correct handling the pitfalls of online harmful information and scams, the importance of healthy use of the Internet, as well as deepen their understanding of the Control of Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance (Cap. 390) (COIAO).

OFNAA's project officer introduced during the event the contents of the COIAO and the related works carried out by the enforcement agencies including OFNAA and the Customs and Excise Department (C&ED) etc., and the work of the Obscene Articles Tribunal. Participants were also taught to remain vigilant against violent and pornographic content on the Internet to avoid being poisoned. The inter-departmental exchange event provided an opportunity for student ambassadors of the "Healthy Information Student Ambassador (HISA) Scheme" to share their experiences from participating various COIAO promotional activities and their tips for rejecting harmful information with Customs YES members, and to encourage them to actively promote the healthy use of the Internet. After the sharing session, the student ambassadors were also arranged to visit the Hong Kong Customs College, which deepened their understanding of the work of C&ED. This talk cum exchange event co-organised by OFNAA and C&ED not only spread the message of rejecting harmful information to a broader community, but also provided a platform for young people to apply their knowledge, encourage their peers, and establish correct value and a proper mindset for Internet usage, showcasing the achievements of inter-departmental cooperation in promoting the related public education.

Since 2009, OFNAA has been organising the HISA Scheme, dedicated to cultivating independent thinking and analytical skills in youth to deal with harmful information, developing correct values, as well as encouraging them to actively participate in community services through volunteer work, thereby further promoting the culture of healthy use of the Internet.

OFNAA will continue to help children and young people stay away from obscene and indecent information online and promote the correct use of the Internet through various forms of publicity and public education activities.
