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.

Man, for years, I had right wing dickbags telling me Snopes was leftist propaganda because it debunked all their crazy bullshit. And now they go and pull something like this.

Got a link?
I think this is the one I read a while back.
There was lots of e-begging in the mid 2010s IIRC.
But htf do you seriously publish this? “But omitted his words explaining the gesture”? No, it’s a fucking Nazi salute.
