YouTube has blocked access to “Glory to Hong Kong,” a protest anthem, following a court order banning it. The song, popular during 2019 protests, was deemed a potential catalyst for secession. YouTube complied with the removal order, sparking concerns about freedom of expression. Links to banned videos won’t show in Google Search. Critics fear this move could hinder Hong Kong’s reputation and business appeal. Despite earlier arrests for playing the song, critics argue that banning it further suppresses dissent post-2019 protests crackdown. YouTube expressed disappointment and is considering an appeal.
