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.
But he’s totally not a Nazi because he is black.
Doesn’t he self identify as a Nazi?
He says that, but it’s for attention. He’s rich enough to not suffer any consequences for his behavior.
He is suffering so so many consequences man
Did you know Auschwitz had a special luxury VIP section where all the richest Jews got treated really well and each one got a Nazi guard assigned to serve them? If you didn’t know that it’s probably because I just made it up.
Kanye’s insane to think the people he’s cosying up to won’t turn on him in a second.
No, they really fucking didn’t, and fuck the Nazi bullshit. Goodbye.
You started writing that reply before you finished reading my post, didn’t you?
Who are you to say he isn’t deranged enough to sincerely believe it?
An intelligent, informed adult.
Who are you to defend an obvious lunatic provoking outrage for attention?
Clearly at least part of that is a lie. You’re the one trying to defend the fuckwad by pretending his gibbering is just for attention and not sincere, despicable hate. I’m the one rebuking you for it. You got it entirely fucking backwards.
Whatever you need to tell yourself.
Don’t be cringe.
Where’s the /s?
There is no sarcasm.
Why you would think there is?
He’s a raging a narcissist who will say anything for attention and relevance.
No, everyone knows he’s a lunatic doing it for attention. When you’re that rich, the people who will tell you “No” are very few, and he can afford to ignore them. Unfortunate.
