Corporate censorship. [1]

I don't appreciate your personal attack. You are not arguing in good faith, and I'm done responding to you.

Nothing was intended as a personal attack. I just don't understand the outrage.

And how is this corporate censorship? There exists a private contract between two parties, money changed hands. I have no evidence that Spotify is overstepping their bounds here. They can remove any content any time. It's not an open platform. To even get content on their you have to form a contract with a distributor, who I imagine is under no obligation to actually distribute anything.

That doesn't change that this is a form of censorship. They have a legal right to do so but that doesn't change what it is.

Note that censorship doesn't have to be globally complete in order to qualify as such. If I kick guests out of my house for discussing certain topics that's an act of censorship. Possibly a well justified one depending on the scenario.
