Trying to figure out whether this action was triggered by the investigation by the Australian magazine Choice, which found most Australian sunscreens were much worse than claimed.

There's just this weird statement at the bottom of the page:

> The Consumer Council reserves all its right (including copyright) in respect of CHOICE magazine and Online CHOICE

I think it's a coincidence. The Hong Kong CHOICE article is from 2020. The Australian CHOICE article is from 2025. I don't think there's any connection between the two publications other than the name and their general purpose.
