Why hello there Ms Streisand

> the song commonly known as “願榮光歸香港” or “Glory to Hong Kong”

I'd never heard of it until now.

> the Song first emerged in August 2019 in the form of a video publicly accessible on a channel “Dgx Music” on the YouTube. The composer of the Song used a pseudonym “Thomas dgx yhl”

OK, so here are multiple versions of the song: https://www.youtube.com/@Dgxmusic

EDIT: Great job, Google, I see where you stand. The first song is blocked: "Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users." Yeah no.

Why is this google's fault? The first video I clicked used violent imagery like protesters attacking police, or using fireworks to destroy property. If you showed this to children they would probably assume the hong kong residents are the "bad guys".

Ah OK, from the video title I thought it was a choir singing the song. If it features violent imagery then I can understand why it's requires login.

> using fireworks to destroy property

Which part of the video has the imagery you claimed? I can see police firing teargas and protesters throwing them back at the police, but not protesters using fireworks themselves to destroy properties from the video.

I watched and upvoted the first 3 in my list, but didn't get any sign in message (probably because I was already signed in).

Google still makes me confirm whenever I play RATM even though it's in my library. It's stupid annoying and vapid that they don't truly allow "yo I'm an adult and I've been on the internal while just let me play this stuff. FR nothing on your platform approaches any of those leaked cartel videos or fake limewire music videos I've seen" option

... especially when I'm driving and yt music on android pauses on my playlist in city traffic. Really got your priorities straight there Google.

It would be nice to see this have mirrors somewhere that wasn't YouTube.

GOOG can pull this at any time and it could be lost.

Got a .torrent or anything? Information wants to be free, doesn't it?

Could someone give us a link to that song?

Brendan Kavanagh (Dr K) played that song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeL3h0F-KTQ
