So I guess Spotify just decides when and where to censor songs now?

Why the hell are songs i've added to my play lists months ago, now all of a sudden censored versions of those songs? I'd appreciate it if you didn't take away my ability to make my own decisions regarding censorship. Strike Two, Spotify.
