Versions Notes
Due to an error during the editorial process, the article published was not the finalized one [1]. The following details should be corrected.

1. Addresses of Some of the Authors

There are some digits after Hong Kong in the authors’ addresses which came from nowhere:

Published version:

Department of Social Science, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 999077, China
Department of Political Science, Lingnan University, Hong Kong 999077, China

Corrected version:

Department of Social Science, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
Department of Political Science, Lingnan University, Hong Kong, China

2. Error in Formatting

The editorial wrongly formatted a paragraph in page 4 and 5 of the published version:

Published version:

H2: 
and H3 try to echo the relationship between online information exposure, Internet addiction, and psychological well-being that has been discussed in psychology. FOMO is also included as it is associated with Internet addiction [38] and it fits the movement context that is full of uncertainties and unexpected incidents. Psychological well-being includes depression and perceived social isolation as they are commonly observed as possible consequences of Internet addiction [29,31]. In the context of a movement, depression was found to be an emotional symptom during and after a protest [39,40], but its role is rarely discussed in social mobilization. In addition, perceived social isolation is not covered in the discussion about mobilization and yet, addictive Internet use can lead to a perception of whether some people are part of the majority or minority in a highly polarized atmosphere during a massive protest. The operationalization of the measurements was adjusted due to the context of massive protest in Hong Kong. This will be explained in the next section.
