Spotify to partner with the Southern Poverty Law Center and far-left groups to combat 'hate content

In a blog post, Spotify announced that it will partner with several far-left groups to combat "hate content" on its music platform. The groups included are the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Color of Change, GLAAD, Show Up For Racial Justice, Muslim Advocates, and the International Networks Against Cyber Hate.

Here's what their blog post said:

“We love that our platform is home to so much diversity because we believe in openness, tolerance, respect, and freedom of expression, and we want to promote those values through music on our platform, however, we do not tolerate hate content on Spotify — content that expressly and principally promotes, advocates, or incites hatred or violence against a group or individual based on characteristics, including, race, religion, gender identity, sex, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability.”

“When we are alerted to content that violates our policy, we may remove it (in consultation with rights holders) or refrain from promoting or playlisting it on our service. It’s important to us that our values are reflected in all the work that we do, whether it’s distribution, promotion, or content creation,” they explained. “At the same time, however, it’s important to remember that cultural standards and sensitivities vary widely. There will always be content that is acceptable in some circumstances, but is offensive in others, and we will always look at the entire context.”

The left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center is known for labeling Christian organizations and conservative groups "hateful." To find out what will be considered "hateful content," click here.
