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.

Honest question: is Ye just mentally ill, or is Russia manipulating him?

Unless Dr Sergei took him off his meds, this is probably all his own doing.

Being rich clearly means you have no real friends, because any real friend would have sat him down long ago and stopped him doing whatever the fuck this is.

Meanwhile my social accounts get shut down within minutes of me posting PG beach photos that the algorithm claims are promoting sexual activity. I know I'm sexy, but tech platforms aren't facing challenges, this is intentional.

I’ll fight Kanye for charity. Live on the internet.

Tell him punkrocksportsfan is not afraid to fight him. Why’s he afraid of punkrocksportsfan?

I’ll fight that dude. Don’t gotta get ready if you stay ready, right.

Name the time and place Mr Kanye West.

Honest question: would this dude fall into an oppressed group that Nazis would target? Seriously. He is not White, German, blue eyed and blonde. Am I missing something other than a likely mental health problem that is causing this dude to write and record such music?

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A lot of people during the nazi times supported or identified with Hitler or nazis who were directly a target of nazis. It's crazy how well hate sells.

He could become an Honorary Aryan under a "useful idiot" kind of deal, though really I think he'd probably be treated like the other African folks owing to the bipolar. He claims he was misdiagnosed bipolar, and instead has autism but in this hypothetical that wouldn't really help.
