Feel how you want, but Spotify has a very clear policy on hateful content. And sure, maybe you won’t listen to it, but do you know who will? Bigoted psychos that will go out and commit a hate crime. Allowing content like this on a popular platform will lead to hate crimes. There is nothing wrong with private platforms choosing to not platform certain kinds of content and it is entirely within their right.

Spotify has the right to deplatfom hateful content and doing so is the ethical thing to do.

The act of book banning itself isn’t the real issue. The issue is the homophobia/transphobia motivating the conservative book banning.

What in the world would an “uncensored” model even imply? And give me a break, private platforms choosing to not platform something/someone isn’t “censorship”, you don’t have a right to another’s platform. Mozilla has always been a principled organization and they have never pretended to be apathetic fence-sitters.

Awesome to see Google embrace plaintext email! /j
