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.
I can only think about that Chapelle show skit.
When I think of Chapelle now, I think of the time he had Musk on stage and call his audience poor for booing Musk.
Also his stupid comedy special about how you can’t make shitty jokes about trans people, which demonstrated that you still can in fact make lots of stupid shitty jokes about trans people and be rewarded for it.
That too.
Btw, do you remember an article written by a queer Black person who critiqued the first special? I’ve been looking for it for a while because it was the most succulent I had found on the matter. One of their criticisms was that Chappelle said that trans was a white person problem.
