Two lawmakers are calling on Google and YouTube to restore access to the song “Glory to Hong Kong” on the YouTube platform in Hong Kong. The request comes after a Hong Kong court ordered the video platform to block the song last month.
In a letter dated June 4 to Google CEO Sundar Pichai and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), chair and co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), respectively, said YouTube may have restricted the song more than the court’s injunction required and urged them to unblock the song.
