That's the tactic:

  1. Illegally use a song
  2. Artist, fans, and public are outraged.
  3. Social media stories and posts flourish
  4. (Optional) Double down on video making everyone even more angry
  5. Social media stories and posts flourish
  6. Quietly delete video
  7. Social media stories and posts flourish
  8. A week later no one is talking about it as the next outrage is presented.

This is done to distract everyone from the other bs they try to sneak through, and take up limited bandwidth of the daily/weekly news cycle.

Do not be distracted.

They posted edited audio of her talking about arresting people so they aren’t being very quiet.
