have been cutting ties with Kanye West en masse due to his especially erratic behavior of late, which has culminated (thus far) in a spree of conspiracy theories including age-old antisemitic tropes and MAGA talking points. But West\u2019s music remains on all of the major streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/spotify-criticizes-yes-comments-keeps-his-music-2022-10-26\/\">statement to Reuters<\/a> published earlier today, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek condemned West\u2019s \u201cjust awful comments\u201d but said his catalog would stay on the platform barring a takedown request from West\u2019s former label, Def Jam. Ek clarified that if any of West\u2019s content on Spotify violated the streaming giant\u2019s hate speech policies, it would have been taking down im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely, but that this was not the case.<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cIt\u2019s really just his music, and his music doesn\u2019t violate our policy,\u201d Ek said. \u201cIt\u2019s up to his label, if they want to take action or not.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            There\u2019s a precedent for Spotify\u2019s removal of music from its platform based on an artist\u2019s extra-curricular actions, albeit one on which the company might hesitate to decide the current case. In May 2018, the company took down R. Kelly\u2019s and XXXTentacion\u2019s catalogs \u2014 the former due to his then-alleged, now-proven sex crimes and the latter due to his then-alleged, later-confessed domestic battery of a pregnant woman. They scaled back their \u201chateful conduct\u201d policy just three weeks later, though, admitting that its language was \u201cvague and left too many elements open to interpretation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Last month, the Anti-Defamation League published a study that found Spotify to be \u201cnot only allowing the racism and incitement of white supremacist music [but] actively promoting that content on its own playlists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            The FADER has reached out to representatives of Spotify and Def Jam for further comment, and to a representative of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Music for clarification of that company\u2019s stance on the issue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-238863\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TFI7834680816&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"482\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Raphael Helfand<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
