Regina Ip Writes to LegCo Seeking Google Explanation of National Anthem Search Issue; Says It Could Be Summoned if It Refuses
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。
