Hong Kong Officials Criticize Google for Pro-Democracy Song in Search Results

Google is under fire from officials and legislators in Hong Kong over a pro-democracy song that is showing up in search results for the national anthem, which raises tensions between American tech giants and authorities as Beijing tries to spread patriotism in the city. Two members of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing legislative council in recent days have joined the city’s chief secretary in criticizing the Alphabet Inc. unit for showing the song, “Glory to Kong Kong,” among its top results.
