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.
Yeah I couldn’t give a shit about Kanye but to censor music and art is a bit far

Some Australian drill rap for ya
Unsurprisingly, it’s not my cup of tea. And I don’t even drink tea.
Why are they censoring that, though? I didn’t notice any lyrics more controversial than what you’d hear elsewhere.
They have a documentary if you are interested https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81485425
