HK wants banned protest song removed


Hong Kong demanded that a protest song popular during pro-democracy demonstrations be removed from the Internet after a court banned it, judging it was a “weapon” to incite violent protests in 2019.

The case has been closely watched for how it would affect tech firms and Internet platform operators – a concern that has been raised internationally over the free flow of information in Hong Kong.
