Spotify Promoted White Supremacist Artists, Including One With Song Featuring Adolf Hitler Speech
“Between the extremist content found in some artists’ bios, the white supremacist messaging in some band’s lyrics and the white supremacist imagery found in the cover art, Spotify still has considerable work to do in implementing its new policy,” the ADL stated.When asked for comment on the ADL report, a Spotify spokesperson told Gizmodo in an email on Sunday that it takes content concerns very seriously and that much of the content referenced by the ADL violated its rules and had been removed.
However, Gizmodo on Sunday was able to find and play music from five of the white supremacist artists identified by the ADL, including Ironmensch, OBNX, Kushfrost, Übermensch, Mayhem, and DJ Dark Matter. Some of the artists found by Gizmodo have considering followings. Mayhem, for instance, has 316,701 monthly listeners; Übermensch has 30,321 monthly listeners; and OBNX has 12,418 monthly listeners. Others, like Ironmensch had smaller ones.
“We recognize that even with our continued innovation and investments when it comes to moderation, there is always more work to be done,” a Spotify spokesperson told Gizmodo, adding: “We also remain open to engaging in a dialogue with organizations, including the ADL, so that we might benefit from their expertise and continue to improve the safety of our platform.”
