Hong Kong Moves to Ban Protest Anthem in Bid to Curb Online Speech

Hong Kong authorities are taking legal action to prohibit the dissemination of the protest song "Glory to Hong Kong" online and in public.
The attempt could lead to a court battle between tech companies and Hong Kong in the first major test of the city's control over online content.
The government is seeking to ban the distribution and adaptation of the song's melody and lyrics in all forms, citing the 2020 national security law.
The law gave Beijing broad powers to crack down on acts viewed as threatening, such as secession and collusion.
The Hong Kong government's intensifying efforts to restrict speech could further damage Hong Kong's reputation as a center for business and finance in China and Asia.
