Did YouTube censor Macklemore's song?

YouTube is facing allegations that it has censored Macklemore's pro-Palestine protest song, "Hind's Hall."

The rapper, formally known as  Ben Haggerty, released the track on May 6 on social media in response to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. The song's title refers to the name given to Columbia University's Hamilton Hall by student protestors to honor six-year-old Hind Rajab, who was killed by Israel's military in February. The accompanying video, which Macklemore also dropped on Monday, has garnered more than 27 million views on X/Twitter alone.
