Hong Kong Pushes Google and YouTube to Remove Protest Song, Block 32 Video Links
May 14, 2024, 11:40 PM
Hong Kong authorities are intensifying efforts to remove the protest song 'Glory to Hong Kong' from the internet. Despite Google's initial refusal in 2022 to comply with a request to bury the song in search results, which Hong Kong called 'unbelievable,' the government has now obtained a court injunction to enforce its removal. YouTube, owned by Google, has announced it will comply with the court order to block 32 video links related to the anthem. This move comes as tech giants like Google weigh the implications of adhering to Hong Kong's legal demands while facing potential backlash in their home countries.
