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.

I'm puzzled how people are viewing songs.. is that like being so high you can feel the moon?

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.

He's been a total nutcase for years. From an outside perspective I can confirm that all of his problems are 100% of his own making.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 3 hours ago

Just in case people actually believed Elon's whining that he's total not a Nazi you guys, cut it out wah.

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 7 points 4 hours ago

I'm curious how can this guy release a song titled "heil hitler" and still in the news?

[–] briever@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

When did he rename himself Ye?

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Kanye legally changed his whole name to Ye in 2021.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh.
I thought it was Ye song as in Ye Olde Song.

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

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 38 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Um, you have to be a special sort of moron to be Black and a fan of Hitler...sure, those Nazis might be your bud for a little while, and maybe use your money and fame to fund their cause. Right up until the Night of the Long Knives 2.0.

[–] jmf@lemm.ee 7 points 11 hours ago

Look up the black hebrew Israelite movement. It's really a weird phenomenon.

which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

I feel like Canada and Mexico are a few days away from being an old man that stands up from his rocking chair, grabs an old shotgun and goes "well. I guess it was comin'"
