&gt; material that favors hatred or incites violence against race, religion, sexuality, or the like is not tolerated by us<p>Wouldn&#x27;t this make <i>a lot</i> of rap music intolerable to Spotify?

Hmm yeah. Maybe censorship isn&#x27;t the best weapon to use against Nazis.

Spotify already has an extremely restricted selection of songs. Even for popular artists it&#x27;s ridiculous how narrow of a selection is in their library.<p>It&#x27;s 2017, there&#x27;s plenty of alternative services and discovery paths to finding music, and musicians.

The way protest music is written, how could you even tell if a band was pro-nazi or anti-nazi?<p>Case in point: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;A_Collection_of_Pop_Classics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;A_Collection_of_Pop_Classics</a><p>Someone who isn&#x27;t really into punk is probably going to think they&#x27;re skinheads.

Pretty amusing that &#x27;American Woman&#x27; is in their patriotic playlist, since it&#x27;s critical of the US.
