When searching for the keywords "Hong Kong" and "National Anthem" in the Google browser, the anti-amendment song "Glory to Hong Kong" appears in the front position of the webpage. Google rejected the Hong Kong government's request for revision, saying that it will not manipulate the search results .
According to Hong Kong China News Agency, Google replied on Friday (16th) that it would not manipulate search results. According to Google, the company processes billions of search queries every day, so it creates a ranking system that automatically displays relevant, high-quality and useful information, and does not artificially manipulate the list of web pages to determine the ranking of specific web pages.
Google introduced that it is in contact with the Hong Kong SAR government to explain the company's platform and how the removal policy works. Unless there are specific reasons listed in the company's global policy, search results will not be removed.
Currently, when searching for the keywords "Hong Kong" and "National Anthem" in Google Chrome, the anti-revision song "Glory to Hong Kong" appears at the front of the page.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Lee Ka-chao previously said that he would continue to negotiate with Google over the correct search results for the national anthem. He described this as a matter of great right and wrong, as well as a moral issue. Any organization must seriously handle information about the national anthem.
