香港政府7月3日将向立法会提交《同性伴侣关系登记条例草案》，以完成终审法院2023年判决所确立的限期立法义务。
拟议的登记条件为：双方年满18岁；一方为香港居民；双方已在香港以外的地方根据当地的法律注册有效的同性婚姻、同性民事伴侣关系或同性民事结合。
已登记伴侣可享有医院探视、参与医疗决定等医疗相关事宜，以及处理身后事宜。
政府在文件中说，社会对同婚法制化仍存在不同看法，当局“必须谨慎考量，并酌情作出平衡，以免造成社会分化，影响社会和谐”。

elegram is updating its messaging app with options for auto-deleting messages, expiring invite links, and new unlimited groups, the company shared in a blog post. Much like Signal, Telegram received a burst of new users in the confusion over WhatsApp’s privacy policy and now the company is adopting features that were already part of its competitors’ apps, features which offer more security and privacy. Auto-deleting messages were already possible in Telegram’s encrypted Secret Chats, but this new update for iOS and Android adds the option to make messages disappear in any kind of chat. Auto-delete can be enabled inside of chats, and set to delete either 24 hours or seven days after messages are sent. Auto-delete won’t remove every message though; if a message was sent before the feature was turned on, it’ll stick around. Telegram’s competitors have had similar features: WhatsApp introduced a feature in 2020 and Signal has had disappearing messages since at least 2016.
