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.

The song doesn't really glorify Hitler. And the title "architect of the Holocaust" is usually attributed to Adolf Eichmann.

That being said, the song is antisemitic and tasteless. West appears to blame all his personal issues on the Jews, which is deeply pathetic.

When did he rename himself Ye?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Kanye legally changed his whole name to Ye in 2021.

I’m still hoping Washington, Oregon, and California become part of B.C.

While there are countless advantages of the internet, there are just as many disadvantages. Dare I say evil? The spread of disinformation, racism, ableism, misogyny, the complete lack of belief in science, etc. And this has become rampant because of lack of proper education—critical thinking. Does it not strike you that the least educated people vote for Trump? This is by design.

Just as many downsides? What makes you reach that conclusion?

I think we should all download it, over and over, let's see if we can get their CDN costs up to a couple mil this month.
