Another day, another instance of smr posting lies.
Here's what happened: The band wanted to use facebook's paid promotion feature to promote their music video. Facebook approved the ad, then unapproved it because the video was flagged (presumably automatically) as political content. Then the unapproval was appealed, someone at facebook decided that the video doesn't fall under the guidelines covering political content, and reapproved the ad campaign. It was "banned" (read: Not actively promoted using the paid promotion pipeline facebook offers) for less than a day; as far as I can tell, at no point was the video unviewable.
(because smr won't read anything else, here's the fox report on the matter: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/07/03/ ... -song.html)
In other words: Facebook's automated content curation systems are bad, News at Eleven. To read some sort of bias into it is dishonest, IMHO.
