This is a decades old story.
The show runners themselves pulled the episode because the thought of Jackson using The Simpsons to get to kids was "icky" to put it lightly.
Calling it corporate censorship, is just bullshit.
Not even remotely true. Disney pulled the episode in March 2019 after the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland premiered.
Doesn't change the fact it was the production staff of the Simpsons that pulled the episode. Not Disney,
