Ryan Long is a standup comedian whom you may remember as the “racist” half of the “Woke vs. Racist” duo from that fantastic video. He’s produced a lot of quality content since then, including this take on Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Oscars over Rock’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss:

Damn. That’s cold.
Also pretty genius. Will Smith can’t possibly go out and personally slap every single person out there who draws attention to the fact that his wife’s infidelity is a wide-open Hollywood non-secret secret.
But apparently Facebook decided to do what they could to have Will’s back and punish Ryan Long and Co. for slapping Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith where it hurts:

Will Smith literally walked up onto the stage where Chris Rock was presenting and slapped him in the face over a joke. And Ryan Long is the one who’s guilty of harassment and bullying by Facebook’s standards?! If anything, Facebook was harassing and bullying Ryan Long by punishing him for nailing the Smiths (no pun intended).
Anyway, it took some time, but apparently Long taking issue with the post getting taken down got through to Facebook (either that, or Facebook literally couldn’t come up with a valid-sounding reason to pull the post):

Take a lesson from this, Facebook. Don’t mess with Ryan Long.
And if you do, well, know that your efforts will ultimately be futile. Long is nothing if not tenacious (and pretty darn popular).
