Spotify, Soundcloud and other technological platforms have worked to eliminate a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and his video have continued to proliferate online, even in X, where he has accumulated millions of views.
In several main and alternative technological platforms this week, and, previously known as Kanye West, has been able to share his last song, titled “Heil Hitler”, along with his complementary title, “WW3”, which glorifies in a similar way to Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken measures to try to break down the song, others have apparently let it extend freely.
The continuous propagation of the song and the various moderation approaches exemplify an increasingly fractured environment and social networks, where some platforms have removed their moderation practices in recent years, while others have tried to maintain higher standards when it comes to hate speeches.
Elon Musk’s X is where the song has found its greatest audience.
On Thursday, you uploaded a video for the song in X, where it remained until Friday night and received more than 6.5 million visits. At least 12,000 users and a handful of influential people quickly shared the clip in their pages. Ye’s most recent repost is from a video that mixes Hitler’s historical clips along with his song as an accompaniment song. He also shared a video about X from influencer Andrew Tate, a self -written misogynist, playing the song in his car. That video has been seen more than 3 million times.
Yee’s account is verified as an organization in X, which means that it could be eligible for monetization and ads. It is not clear if Ye uses those characteristics.
The proliferation of the song, despite its invocation of Hitler, is the latest illustration of the power that social media platforms have given to some highly followed celebrities and influential, and their inability or lack of will to control the spread of some content after it has been published. Although it did not seem to try to upload the song to other social media platforms, other people have published the video again.
On Facebook, NBC News found more than a dozen victims of the music video “Heil Hitler”, and on YouTube half a dozen re -supplies of the song that had been seen hundreds of thousands of times. In Tiktok, a handful of reuxlas had been published using the hashtag #HH.
X, Meta, Tiktok and YouTube have hate or hate behavior policies that generally prohibit speech aimed at a specific group for race, or odious invocations of genocide. X and goal did not respond to comments requests. A YouTube spokesman said: “We eliminate the content and continue to eliminate the re -supplgas,” noting that accounts associated with Ye are not eligible for monetization.
Ye could briefly upload the song to the popular Spotify and Soundcloud music transmission services.
The presence of the song in Spotify caused a campaign to request the anti-defamation league that requested its elimination.
In a statement, Daniel Kelley, Director of Strategy and Operations at the ADL, said: “Spotify has mostly been silent for the dissemination of ADL for most 2025, so we feel it was important to activate our volunteer base to press them to act on the declared policies of the platform.”
Kelley said Spotify did not respond within his reach, but seems to have eliminated the song. “WW3”, which contains letters glorifying the Nazis, is still on the platform.
But some users have avoided the elimination of the song by Spotify, loading it in the spotify podcast section or loading cover versions re -recorded of the song.
Soundcloud seemed to eliminate versions of the song linked by Ye in his X account, but NBC News located 27 releys or re -remembered versions of the song on the platform.
Spotify and Soundcloud did not respond to requests for comments.
On Friday, you published in X that you had found a new music transmission center for your song called Scrybe, linked to a website with links to download pages for application in Google and Apple application stores. The small music transmission application invoices itself as it serves independent musicians, with the motto, “more money for the artist, less money for the fanatic.”
In the application, Ye songs are labeled as trends. Scrybe did not respond to a request for comments.
