SeepeopleS Band explains the ban

Some users had asked on the official video on Youtube that the band had opposed the ban on the video on Facebook. The band’s handle replied to the comment saying:

The link is sometimes flagged and sometimes isn't We spent 2 years with a disabled ad account, threated with deletion at least 4 times. They took the video off the platform one week after zuckerberg testified before congress. Our lawyer has been dealing with FB legal for 2 years. Recently we got out of facebook jail (like 3 weeks ago) but it was a nutty ordeal. and No, you will not find the actual video on facebook, unless you look super hard (it hides on a page) but i'm not gonna get that dude in trouble. FYI, the reasons by FB were that it qualified as "hate speech." the reality is that it nothing to do with the content and that the video had been reported and flagged by thousands of users (also viewed by 750K people and shared over 6K times on facebook), which altered the algorithm and put our social media accounts into "poor health" status. THe reality is that FB/IG is simply the most perfect instrument of SELF - CENSORSHIP (sic).
