Hong Kong pressures Google to remove protest anthem from searches
Authorities want Glory to Hong Kong axed from top results and replaced with China’s national anthem
Google has refused to change its search results to display China’s national anthem, rather than a protest song, when users search for Hong Kong’s national anthem, the city’s security chief has said, expressing “great regret” at the decision.
Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
