Her song, the Hitler glorified

Spotify, Soundcloud and other Tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from YE that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and his video have continued to increase online, including over X, where it has achieved millions of prospects.

On various mainstream and alternative Tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was able to share his latest song entitled “Heil Hitler” together with his accompanying title “WW3”, the Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust, in a similar way.

While some platforms have taken steps to try to pull the song down, others seem to have spread it freely.

The continued spread of the song and the different approaches to moderate illustrate an increasingly broken environment online and on social media, in which some platforms have withdrawn their moderation practices in recent years, while others have tried to maintain higher standards when maintaining hate speeches.

The song has found its largest audience in Elon Musks X.

On Thursday, she uploaded a video for the song to X, where it remained on Friday evening and received more than 6.5 million views. At least 12,000 users and a handful of right -wing influencers quickly shared the clip on their pages. YES recent repost consists of a video that mixes historical clips from Hitler together with his song as a backing track. He also shared a video about X by influencer Andrew Tate-aem himself described women’s enemy with the song that played the song in his car. This video was viewed over 3 million times.

The YE account is checked as an organization for X, which means that it is possible for monetization and advertisements. It is not clear whether the YE account uses these functions.

Despite Hitler’s calling, the spread of the song is the latest image of power that the social media platforms have handed over to some high -following prominent and influencers, as well as their inability or unwillingness to control the distribution of some content after its publication. While you didn’t seem to have tried to upload the song to other social media platforms, other people have re -posted the video.

On Reddit, users of several subreddits that are dedicated to YE and other rappers uploaded versions of the song to the platform. On R/Kanye, in which 1.1 million members have, some users of YES complained to Hitler and Nazis, while others celebrated the song and posted Memes and TikK videos about it.

A Reddit spokesman said the platform would be uploads of the song and contributions that celebrated its message: “Hate and anti -Semitism have absolutely no place for Reddit. We have strict rules against hater -filled content, including anti -Semitic content. Our internal security teams proactively force these guidelines on the platform to force the platform through the automated tools.

On Facebook, NBC News found about a dozen music videos “Heiller” and on YouTube half a dozen reduced the song that had been viewed hundreds of thousands of painting. A handful of repetitions with the hashtag #hh were published on Tikok.

X, Meta, TikTok and YouTube have all hate speeches or hater -filled behavioral guidelines that prohibit the language that aims at a certain group for their breed or hatred population of genocide. X and Meta did not respond to inquiries about comments. A YouTube spokesman said: “We have removed the content and will continue to be resolved” and finds that compounds associated with them are not justified for monetization.

Ye was briefly able to upload the song to the popular music streaming services Spotify and Soundcloud.

The presence of the song on Spotify led to a petition campaign from the anti-defamation League, in which he demanded the distance.

In an explanation, Daniel Kelley, director of strategy and operations at the ADL, said: “Spotify was mostly radiosis to reach the majority of ADL from ADL.

Kelley said Spotify did not answer her reach, but removed the song. “WW3”, which contains texts, glorified the Nazis, is still on the platform.

Some users avoided Spotify by removing the song, uploading it to the Podcast section of Spotify or uploading new cover versions of the song.

Soundcloud seemed to remove the versions of the song linked by YE in his X account, but NBC News found 27 recharging or remix versions of the song on the platform.

Spotify and Soundcloud did not answer inquiries about comments.

On Friday, Ye posted on X that he had found a new music streaming hub for his song called Skrybe -with links to download from pages for the app in Googles and Apple’s app store. The small music streaming app is a catering for indie musicians with the slogan “More money for the artist, less money for the fan”.

In the app, the songs by YE are all referred to as trends. Scrybe did not respond to a request for comments.
