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.

    Right. Before the internet people like this would be shunned by society until they either changed or stopped trying. The internet giving these people attention and power was one of the worst things to come from it.

      Can’t you see that’s what he want? Those “stars” are exploited by the music industry. Why do you think they all end up dead, overdosed or murdered?

      The best thing that can happen to him is to be left alone away from media attention
