Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.
Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.
On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.
So platforms (rightfully) remove this song, but are happy to let him have an account and make money off his other songs? If they actually cared, he would have been banned a long time ago…
If they remove his other songs, his fans might gravitate to other platforms. This is why they don’t remove his other songs.
His other songs like from years ago? Maybe those don’t belong to him and the platform does not remove those because that would punish a completely different entity that has nothing to do with what Kanye does now. All his songs prior to 2012 are owned by Def Jam (universal music subsidiary)
So Kanye doesn’t get a penny from his songs he made before 2012?
Man I am so hungry…
You alright bro?
His username? The “funny bit” I am trying to make? Hello? Nobody gets me…
Oh. I am error.
Why should his other songs be removed?
If someone keeps making Nazi comments online, should they be banned or just the comments removed?
deleted by creator
Assuming they don’t own the platform?
maybe they should be REMOVED
He’s got another song on that album about showing a younger (?) cousin porn and having sucked his dick. That cousin is in prison for murdering someone. Now, children are curious and child perpetrated sexual abuse is a complicated and messy topic for professionals, but I don’t think you have to be a professional to say “yeah, probably not a good idea to release that.”
