Hong Kong court rejects government bid to ban pro-democracy protest song 'Glory to Hong Kong'

• The Hong Kong government sought to ban the protest song "Glory to Hong Kong" under the national security law.
• The court denied the request, citing concerns about infringing on freedom of expression.
• The popular song gained prominence during Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests in 2019.
• Banning the song could have implications for tech companies and Hong Kong's reputation as an open internet hub.
• The ruling acknowledges the song could be unlawful in some contexts but a blanket ban would be disproportionate.
