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.

It was so funny when Alex Jones was like “yeah Kanye we know what you mean, the Nazis did some good things for the German people under Hitler but you don’t ‘love’ Hitler.”

And Kanye was like

“I LOOOOOOOOOVE HITLERRRRRRRRR!”

You know you're insane when you make Alex Jones look reasonable.

So when is he going to get a conservatorship?

He’s clearly in need of others making decisions for him.

Part of the song is complaining about how he can’t access his bank account, so maybe there’s action there.

But we all know conservatorships are really for when your child who you relentlessly groomed as a sex object wants to start keeping her own money. (How much do you think Dan Schneider paid off the family to keep anyone from knowing who her sisters baby daddy was?)

Mental illness is no longer an acceptable excuse.

I read the title and thought it was the onion

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

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 2 days ago

Both? Just like the conspiracy theory crowd.

But also it's super easy to manipulate a mentally ill person. Just keep whispering in his ear that he's totally right and oh by the way he should be upset about this other thing too, and he will take the bait. Every. Time.
