HKFP: Protest song ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ vanishes from Spotify, Apple streaming sites ahead of gov’t legal bid to ban it

Pro-democracy protest anthem Glory to Hong Kong has disappeared from the Apple and Spotify streaming sites, ahead of a government bid to ban all forms of the song, and its derivatives.

Update: Spotify says distributor removed ‘Glory to Hong Kong’ from platform

The song – associated with the 2019 protests and unrest – dominated the Apple iTunes charts last week after the government sought legal injunctions to ban “unlawful acts” relating to the song, its melody, lyrics and all derivations.
