Videos of Hong Kong protest song blocked on YouTube after court order

Alphabet’s YouTube has blocked videos of a Hong Kong protest song in the city, days after a local court approved an injunction banning the song.

The Google Video Network said it would follow the ruling and immediately make 32 versions of Glory to Hong Kong unavailable to users from the once-free Chinese city, according to a statement. Attempts to access these videos from Hong Kong on Wednesday resulted in an error message that read: “This content is not available on this country domain due to a court order.”

“We are disappointed by the Court’s decision, but are complying with the takedown order by blocking access to the said videos to viewers in Hong Kong. We will continue to consider our options for an appeal, to promote access to information,” a YouTube spokesperson said.
