Hong Kong Protest Anthem Removed from Global Music Platforms

Court order leads to takedown of 'Glory to Hong Kong,' raising concerns over freedom of expression and internet freedom.

The song 'Glory to Hong Kong' has been removed from major music platforms including iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.
An appeals court in Hong Kong granted an injunction banning the distribution of the song, which advocates for the city's separation from China.
YouTube has blocked access to 32 videos of the song for viewers in Hong Kong, citing the court's decision.
The creators of the song oppose the removal, arguing that the injunction does not have extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Critics warn that the ban could impact the operations of tech companies and undermine Hong Kong's appeal as a global financial hub.
