YouTube to Block 32 Hong Kong Protest Anthem Videos After Court Order
May 15, 2024, 03:00 AM
YouTube has announced it will comply with a Hong Kong court order to block access to 32 video links of the protest anthem 'Glory to Hong Kong'. The decision follows the Hong Kong government's request to ban the song, which has been deemed seditious. The geoblocking of the videos will take effect immediately for viewers in Hong Kong. YouTube expressed disappointment with the court's decision but stated it would adhere to the removal order. The move has raised concerns about free speech and highlights the increasingly challenging environment for tech companies operating in the Chinese territory amid a security clampdown in the financial hub.
