The art was made without issue. Distribution is not a right.
Tech companies, controlling the distribution, now determine what is or isn't dissidence. It may not be 1984, maybe something from Neuromancer or Snow Crash (I forget which) where big corps control the information that is considered acceptable for the plebs.
neither of those cover this. nobody takes neal stephenson seriously that way. take a class
Article goes out of its way to avoid saying what's actually in the song or video.

If you'd like those lyrics to be censored you may also make a stink about it. Youtube has a report functionality.

If it were F@ck Donald (whatever) and everything else the same it would still be up. The rest is nothing but naked excuse. There are so many medically misleading things on YouTube —just look at dieting. They cause harm. Let me see them pull those. Nah, they won’t. Honestly, I think “P…
Its a bad song and I don't want to listen to it to get all the lyrics.

What a joke. This song is bad, it would have fallen off the charts if they just let things go. [0] https://mychords.net/en/bryson-gray/157414-bryso…
Something's wrong when the jester is found to have played a huge part in electing a leader of a leading world power.
