Glory To Hong Kong was often sung by demonstrators during months of anti-government protests in 2019.
The court’s decision in July not to ban the song was a setback for Hong Kong leaders seeking to crack down on dissent.
The lawyers’ arguments raised concerns over Hong Kong’s judicial independence, which was promised to be keep intact after the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997. The government went to court in June after Google resisted pressure to display China’s national anthem as the top result in searches for the city’s anthem instead of Glory To Hong Kong.
They said granting the court order might disrupt the operations of tech giants and hurt the city’s appeal as a business centre.
