Spotify Now Censoring Song Lyrics That Contain “Misinformation”

Spotify Now Censoring Song Lyrics That Contain “Misinformation”
LINK
In a flashback to how art that offended the Soviet regime was blacklisted, streaming giant Spotify is now censoring song lyrics that contain “misinformation.”
Yes, really.
Music icon Ian Brown revealed that Spotify had deleted his anti-lockdown song Little Seed Big Tree, which was originally released last September.
“SPOTiFY stream the streams and censor artists like they have with my last song TOOK IT DOWN just put it down the memory hole! FREE EXPRESSiON AS REVOLUTION,” tweeted Brown.
The song included the lyrics;
Masonic lockdown, in your hometown
Masonic lockdown, can you hear me now
From the top down, soul shock down
State shakedown, mass breakdown
Global orders, riding over borders
Get behind your doors for the new world order
Brown has been a vehement voice against lockdown and mandatory vaccines, announcing that he had refused to be the headliner of Manchester’s Neighborhood Weekender festival because organizers indicated proof of COVID-19 vaccination may have been a condition of entry.
The former Stone Roses frontman asserted that he would, “NEVER sing to a crowd who must be vaccinated as a condition of attendance. NEVER EVER!”
“Spotify prohibits content on the platform which promotes dangerous false, deceptive, or misleading content about COVID-19 that may cause offline harm and/or pose a direct threat to public health. When content that violates this standard is identified it is removed from the platform,” a Spotify spokesperson told Reclaim The Net.
The practice is a continuation of enforcing a monoculture of thought by ensuring any form of art that carries a message which offends technocratic elites is blacklisted.
This is NOT the Babylon Bee. But it's probably something they already posted about 2 months ago......

Don't support these companies. Go to Pandora or someone else. It's a sad, sad day that blanket and biased corporate censorship is somehow accepted within American values.

Will they remove rap songs with "hands up don't shoot" in the lyrics

I find it sad that some musician I've never heard of is a more principled leader than anyone we have in Washington DC.

That sounds like a pretty dangerous thing for society as a whole right?

We're running out of free market choices.

Does that include rappers who pretend to be gangbangers?

When it comes to music, there’s been a healthy bit of an attempt to censor from both sides. We’re not that far removed from the Washington Wives and musicians testifying before the Senate over their lyrics.

Misinformation being conservative thought, family values, etc?

Just a friendly reminder that it was Tipper Gore who led that effort. You know, Al Gore's wife...

I guess.
Censorship definitely isn't a liberal value. Perhaps modern Democrats should just embrace the fact that they are hardcore authoritarians. Be true to yourself!

How does having explicit lyric warnings relate to censoring certain types of thought in music?
