港府要求Google刪183項目 近五成未移除包括《羊村》繪本
Google’s latest Transparency Report said that in the second half of 2022, the Hong Kong government made 56 removal requests involving 183 items, 55 of which were related to “national security”. Google removed about 40% of the items requested, including Google Ads that impersonated government officials, but took no action on nearly half of them. These included Google Drive folder URLs containing material related to the “Sheep Village” books. Google said there were many reasons for not removing content as requested, such as some requests not being sufficiently clear, meaning it was uncertain which content the government wanted removed.
Google公布最新一份《資訊公開報告》，在2022年下半年，港府共提出56項移除要求，涉及183個項目，當中有55項與「國家安全」有關。Google 應要求移除約四成項目，包括冒用政府官員的Google Ads 廣告，但近五成項目未有採取行動，當中涉及《羊村》書籍的雲端硬碟資料夾網址（Google Drive）。Google 指出，未應要求移除內容的原因有很多，如「某些要求可能不夠明確」，故未確定政府想移除哪些內容。

在全世界面前向香港道歉 政協楊莉珊批應拘捕Google負責人 梁美芬：勿抬高對方，可用《國歌法》起訴
The Hong Kong Government demanded that Google correct its search results for the national anthem. After Google refused, the government continued to insist that it must be held responsible and repeatedly threatened the company. On 20 December, National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Judith Yu wrote an article strongly criticising Google, saying it was acting above the law. Citing remarks by New People’s Party chair Regina Ip, the article said the responsible person could be summoned under the Powers and Privileges Ordinance, and also proposed prosecuting Google under the National Anthem Law, saying foreign companies must not be allowed to bully Hong Kong. Legislative Council member Priscilla Leung said summoning the responsible person would give Google too much prominence, and that prosecution under the National Anthem Law would be sufficient.
香港政府要求 Google 修正國歌搜尋結果，遭拒後仍然堅持對方必須負責，再三聲言威脅 Google 。 12 月 20 日，全國政協楊莉珊撰文狠批 Google ，指對方無法無天，引可用新民黨主席葉劉淑儀言論，可用《特權法》傳召負責人，又建議以《國歌法》控告對方，不可讓外國企業欺負香港。立法會議員梁美芬則認為，傳召負責人太過抬高 Google ，用《國歌法》起訴已經足夠。

葉劉去信立會要求Google親解國歌搜尋問題 如拒絕或用特權法傳召
Overseas sporting events have repeatedly mistakenly played the 2019 anti-extradition bill protest song “Glory to Hong Kong” as Hong Kong’s national anthem. Google has also recently rejected the HKSAR Government’s request to change the display order of national anthem search results and pin the correct anthem at the top. Regina Ip, Convenor of the Executive Council and a New People’s Party Legislative Council member, said she had written to request that three LegCo committees hold a joint special meeting and require a senior Google representative to attend and explain the matter. If Google refused to attend, she said the Legislative Council should consider using its statutory power under the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance (Cap. 382) to summon it.
海外體育賽事接連將2019年反修例歌曲《願榮光歸香港》錯誤當作香港國歌播放，Google公司近日亦已拒絕特區政府修改國歌搜索結果展示次序，以及將正確的國歌置頂的要求。行會召集人、新民黨立法會議員葉劉淑儀表示，已去信要求立法會三個委員會召開聯席特別會議，要求Google派高層代表出席解釋，假如對方拒絕出席，認為立法會應考慮使用《立法會（權力及特權）條例》(第382章)內的法定權力傳召。

港府重新設計國歌網頁 無須Google協助 指每位官員分享必能置頂 網民批原來是不懂SEO
Amid the Google national anthem dispute, the Hong Kong government repeatedly insisted and threatened that Google should change the top search result for “Hong Kong national anthem” from “Glory to Hong Kong” to “March of the Volunteers”, but Google rejected this in a statement. Yesterday, 20 December, Chief Executive John Lee maintained that Google must bear responsibility. Today, 21 December, a Sing Tao Daily column cited a source as saying that the government had realised the national anthem webpage had shortcomings and had begun redesigning it. The government reportedly believes that if every official shares the webpage, it should be able to place the page at the top regardless of whether Google compromises.
Google 國歌紛爭至今，港府一再堅持、威脅對方修改「香港國歌」置頂結果由《願榮光回歸香港》改為《義勇軍進行曲》，遭 Google 聲明拒絕。昨 12 月 20 日，特首李家超堅持 Google 須負責任。今 21 日，《星島日報》專欄引消息指，港府意識國歌網頁具缺陷，已開始重新設計，認為若每位官員都分享國歌網頁，相信無論 Goolge 是否妥協，都能令網頁置頂。

Google拒絕置頂正確國歌 表明不會人為操控搜尋排名
In recent months, the wrong Hong Kong national anthem has been played at several overseas international sporting events. The Hong Kong government and the pro-establishment camp have both condemned Google, which has been identified as one of the culprits, and demanded that it place the March of the Volunteers at the top of search results. Several Executive Council members have successively pressured the company. Ronny Tong said Google might be violating the National Security Law, while Regina Ip said she was considering using the Legislative Council’s powers and privileges to summon Google representatives to explain. Google said yesterday that it would not manually manipulate its search results to place specific webpages at the top.
近月有多場海外國際賽事播錯香港國歌，Google被指是元兇之一，港府及建制派均齊聲譴責，要求Google將《義勇軍進行曲》置頂。多名行會成員先後施壓，湯家驊稱Google或違反《國安法》，葉劉淑儀又指考慮以立法會特權法傳召Google代表解釋。Google昨日表明，不會人為操作將特定網頁置頂。

警隊去年要求刪7條涉違《國安法》YouTube片Google全部無應允
Hong Kong sports teams have become embroiled in a series of national anthem controversies in recent months, and the Hong Kong government has asked Google to remove misinformation. According to Google’s annual Transparency Report, in the second half of 2021 the government made 82 removal requests. Google complied with nearly 30% of them, while taking no action on more than 60%. Among the requests, the police cited the Hong Kong National Security Law in asking for seven YouTube videos allegedly involving violations of the law to be removed, but the request was not acted upon. Google explained that there were many reasons for not removing content as requested, including that the information provided might not have been clear enough or that it was uncertain whether the content should be removed.
香港運動代表隊近月接連捲入國歌風波，港府要求Google移除不實訊息。根據Google每年公布的《資訊公開報告》，於2021年下半年，港府曾提出82項移除要求，Google配合移除近三成項目，有超過六成沒有採取行動，當中警隊曾根據《香港國安法》，要求移除7部涉違法的YouTube影片，但未獲理會。Google解釋，未依要求移除內容的原因眾多，可能與資料不夠明確，不確定移除內容等有關。

李梓敬到Google示威 促置頂正確國歌及刪除《願榮光歸香港》
Searching Google for Hong Kong’s national anthem currently displays “Glory to Hong Kong”.

錯播國歌｜政府要求Google將國歌置頂 將找方法讓《願榮光》「沉底」
The Hong Kong team was competing at the South Korea leg of the Asia Rugby Sevens tournament when the organiser played the wrong song. Asia Rugby explained that a junior staff member had downloaded the national anthem online. The Innovation, Technology and Industry Bureau said Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry Sun Dong had met a senior Google executive responsible for public policy and government affairs in the Asia-Pacific region, hoping Google would arrange for China’s national anthem, “March of the Volunteers”, to appear at the top of search results when relevant searches were made. The bureau quoted Google as saying it had confirmed receipt of the written request and would follow up. Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said the government would find a way to make the erroneous version of the song “sink to the bottom”.
早前亞洲七人欖球賽香港隊於韓國站作賽時，主辦方播錯歌。亞洲欖球總會解釋因為有初級員工在網上下載國歌。創新科技及工業局表示，創科局長孫東已與Google亞太區公共政策及政府事務高層會面，冀對方設定當有相關搜尋時，搜尋結果將中國國歌《義勇軍進行曲》置頂，局方引述Google回覆指已確認收到相關書面要求，並會跟進。政務司長陳國基就指，會找方法令錯誤版本的歌曲「沉底」。
