Spotify, Soundcloud and other technological platforms have worked to remove a new song from you that rents Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video continued to proliferate online, including through X, where it has accumulated millions of views.
On various consumer and alternative technological platforms this week, you, formerly known as Kanye West, was able to share his latest song, entitled “Heil Hitler”, with his title Companion, “WW3”, which also glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken measures to try to lower the song, others have apparently let her spread freely.
The continuous propagation of the song and the various approaches to moderation illustrate an increasingly fractured online and social networks environment, where certain platforms have resumed their moderation practices in recent years, while others have tried to maintain higher standards with regard to hatred discourse.
Elon Musk’s X is the place where the song has found its most general public.
Thursday, you downloaded a video for the song on X, where she stayed on Friday evening and received more than 6.5 million views. At least 12,000 users and a handful of right -wing influencers quickly shared the clip on their pages. The most recent of Ye is a video mixing Hitler’s historic clips with his song as a support track. He also shared a video on X of the influencer Andrew Tate – a self -proclaimed misogynist – playing the song in his car. This video has been viewed more than 3 million times.
Ye’s account is verified as an organization on X, which means that it could be eligible for monetization and advertisements. It is not clear if Ye’s account uses these features.
The proliferation of song, despite his invocation as Hitler, is the last illustration of power that social media platforms have transmitted to certain celebrities and very followed influencers, and their inability or reluctance to control the propagation of content after its publication. Although you did not seem to try to download the song to other social media platforms, other people republished the video.
On Facebook, NBC News has found more than a dozen clips of the “Heil Hitler” clip, and on YouTube half a dozen songs of the song that had been seen hundreds of thousands of times. On Tiktok, a handful of reuploads had been published using the hashtag #HH.
X, Meta, Tiktok and Youtube all have hate speech or hateful conduct policies which generally prohibit speech targeting a specific group for their race, or hateful invocations of the genocide. X and Meta did not respond to requests for comments. A YouTube spokesperson said: “We have deleted the content and will continue to eliminate the reubliking”, noting that the accounts associated with you are not eligible for monetization.
You have been briefly able to download the song on popular musical streaming services Spotify and Soundcloud.
The presence of the song on Spotify has caused a petition campaign of the anti-diploma league calling for its withdrawal.
In a statement, Daniel Kelley, director of strategy and operations at the ADL, said: “Spotify was mainly silent radio to raise awareness of the ADL for the majority of 2025, we therefore considered that it was important to activate our volunteer base to put them on to act on the declared policies of the platform.”
Kelley said Spotify had not responded to their awareness, but seems to have deleted the song. “WW3”, which contains words glorifying the Nazis, is always on the platform.
But some users have circumvented the deletion of Spotify from the song, download it in the Spotify podcast section or the download of the re -recorded cover versions of the song.
SoundCloud seemed to delete the versions of the song linked to YE on his X account, but NBC News has located 27 reuploads or remixed versions of the song on the platform.
Spotify and Soundcloud did not respond to requests for comments.
Friday, you posted on X that he had found a new musical streaming center for his song entitled Scrybe – binding to a website with links to download pages for the application in Google and Apple application stores. The small music streaming application presents itself as independent musicians, with the slogan, “more money for the artist, less money for the fan”.
On the application, Ye’s songs are all labeled as a trend. Scrybe did not respond to a request for comments.
