China Demands Worldwide Ban on 'Glory to Hong Kong' Protest Anthem.
Chinese authorities are seeking to censor the protest anthem 'Glory to Hong Kong' from online services globally, with the Hong Kong government seeking a court order to ban the song. Human rights and digital rights groups have written an open letter to internet companies affected, asking them to oppose the injunction. If the companies agree to censor the song, it could encourage China to demand more global takedowns of material it doesn't like. The attempt to ban the song outright pushed it to the top of the charts in Apple's iTunes store in Hong Kong last week.
