Hong Kong requested that Google remove a protest song from its top search results for Hong Kong’s national anthem and replace it with China’s national anthem, but the request was denied, the city’s security chief said Monday.

Hong Kong’s security secretary, Chris Tang, said that Google refused to change the top search results for Hong Kong’s national anthem because they were generated by an algorithm “with no human input.”
