The actual international organization, United Nations, for which the band is named after, discovered that a musical group had formed under the name of United Nations, and ordered Facebook to remove their official page.[7] After deleting their page, Facebook informed the band about the removal and also stated, "The use of the name 'United Nations' by the Band and the use of its Logo which resembles the UN emblem has not been authorized and violates international and United States laws..."[8] The band's record label comically responded the situation stating, "The United Nations, an international organization of some kind, has been taking issue with the band that shares it's name. Who had the name first remains open to debate, but the problem exists nonetheless."[7] Their label also hinted at the possibility of no longer being able to release their debut album. In December 2008, a little over a month after the band's Facebook was deleted, their MySpace page was also deleted.[9]
