YouTube agrees to remove videos of banned Hong Kong protest song

by VOA News

YouTube says it will block access in Hong Kong to videos of
performances of a banned protest song.

Hong Kong's Court of Appeal ruled last week that "Glory to Hong Kong,"
which emerged as an anthem for protesters during the massive
anti-government protests in 2019, is illegal to sing or play in the
city. The ruling said the song's composer intended for the song to be
used as a "weapon."

There was no immediate comment from the government in Hong Kong.

The ban covers anyone who either broadcasts or distributes the song
with the intention of promoting Hong Kong's independence or
misrepresents it as the city's official anthem. Hong Kong is a
semi-autonomous city.

YouTube said in a statement Wednesday that it will block access in the
Chinese city to 32 videos of the song, which the court deemed was
"prohibited content."

"We are disappointed by the Court's decision but are complying with its
removal order," the online video sharing service said. The company said
it shared concerns with human rights organizations about the chilling
effect the ban would have on free speech online, and that it is
considering options to file an appeal.

A search for the 32 videos in Hong Kong resulted in a message saying
they were "not available on this country domain due to a court order."

The song has mistakenly been played at sporting events as the official
anthem of Hong Kong. The city does not have its own anthem, instead
using mainland China's official anthem "March of the Volunteers."

The appeal court's ruling overturned a previous decision issued last
year by the High Court, which cited free speech concerns. The
government went to court last year to have the song banned after Google
and other internet service providers refused to remove it from their
search results.

YouTube and Google are owned by California-based Alphabet.

The ban is the latest action taken by the government to silence
dissenting voices since Beijing passed a sweeping security law for Hong
Kong in 2020 in response to the protests. The law punishes anyone
believed to be carrying out terrorism, separatism, subversion of state
power or collusion with foreign forces.

Since the law took effect, hundreds of pro-democracy advocates have
been arrested, tried and jailed, and the city's once-vibrant civil
society has been stifled.

George Chen, the co-chair of digital practice at the Washington-based
business and policy consultancy Asia Group, said the ban could hurt
Hong Kong's reputation as a global financial hub if officials pressure
online platforms on a daily basis to remove content, as it could raise
questions about its willingness to allow the free flow of information.

Some information for this report came from The Associated Press,
Reuters, Agence France-Presse.

The Voice of America provides news and information in more than 40
languages to an estimated weekly audience of over 326 million people.
Stories with the VOA News byline are the work of multiple VOA
journalists and may contain information from wire service reports.

Mistakes Were NOT Made:

An #Anthem for #Justice

The Armenian Genocide was not a mistake.
Holodomor was not a mistake.
The Final Solution was not a mistake.
The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake.
The Killing Fields were not a mistake.

Name your genocide—it was not a mistake.
That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s.
To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking.

It was not botched.
It was not bungled.
It was not a blunder.

It was not incompetence.
It was not lack of knowledge.
It was not spontaneous mass hysteria.

The planning occurred in plain sight.
The planning is still occurring in plain sight.

The philanthropaths bought The $cience™.
The modelers projected the lies.
The testers concocted the crisis.
The NGOs leased the academics.
The $cientists fabricated the findings.
The mouthpieces spewed the talking points.

The organizations declared the emergency.
The governments erected the walls.
The departments rewrote the rules.
The governors quashed the rights.
The politicians passed the laws.
The bankers installed the control grid.

The stooges laundered the money.
The DoD placed the orders.
The corporations fulfilled the contracts.
The regulators approved the solution.
The laws shielded the contractors.
The agencies ignored the signals.

The behemoths consolidated the media.
The psychologists crafted the messaging.
The propagandists chanted the slogans.
The fact-chokers smeared the dissidents.
The censors silenced the questioners.
The jackboots stomped the dissenters.

The tyrants summoned.
The puppeteers jerked.
The puppets danced.
The colluders implemented.
The doctors ordered.
The hospitals administered.

The menticiders scripted.
The bamboozled bleated.
The totalitarianized bullied.
The Covidians tattled.
The parents surrendered.
The good citizens believed … and forgot.

This was calculated.
This was formulated.
This was focus-grouped.
This was articulated.
This was manufactured.
This was falsified.
This was coerced.
This was inflicted.
This was denied.

We were terrorized.
We were isolated.
We were gaslit.

We were dehumanized.
We were wounded.
We were killed.

Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.
Don’t let Them get away with it.

#OliverAnthony with #JordanPeterson: #Art, #Commerce, and the #Religious | EP 382

top

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and breakout #musician Chris Lunsford, better known by his stage name Oliver Anthony, #discuss the balance between #vision and efficiency in #artistic and commercial endeavors, why Chris’ hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” has resonated so broadly and so quickly, the way honest #expression through #music can combat #demoralization, how #politics have become confused with the sacred, and what we can do to restore each to their proper order.

Oliver Anthony, real name Christopher Anthony Lunsford, is an #American #country/ #folk musician from #Farmville, #Virginia. He just recently went #viral for his #anthem #song, “Rich Men North of Richmond” – which has resonated across the country for its #messaging about #Washington D.C. and the #state of #poverty and #mental #health in the #broader U.S.. Chris has stated his politics as being right down or near the center, though already tribalism has attempted to take hold of or alternatively reduce/dismiss him, all the while “Rich Men” has amassed nearly 60 million views on YT in just over a month, and trended the billboard charts (Hitting number one more than once) since its release. Chris named his YT channel Oliver Anthony Music after his grandfather, whom he has described as a “real 1930’s Appalachian man.” Since his song's virality, he has already been offered – and turned down – an 8 million dollar recording contract, and is making waves as a truly authentic artist both in performance and practice.
