Is Spotify running advertising for ICE or Border patrol recruitment?

Is Spotify running advertising for ICE or Border patrol recruitment? If I see 1 ad for such nonsense, I will be cancelling my Spotify accounts and will encourage all others to do the same.

Are they STILL running the ads?

Honestly, it just made me look deeper into how their whole ethos and how they pay their artists and frankly even if they stopped playing the ads at this point, I just think I'd rather support a platform that helps make being a professional musician more sustainable and slightly less extractive.

I too will be canceling my subscription because of this. But I’m first going to spread the word to as many people as possible to do the same until Spotify changes their policy of supporting ICE atrocities. Please spread the word…

I will not upgrade to a premium account because you are running ICE ads. Supporting fascist **bleep** in our communities is unacceptable. 

Cancelling mine because of ICE. Its like German media running recruitment ads for the Nazi brown shirts. Cant stop em but dont have to help em either

As far as I know, yes. I'll be finding out if that's changed this week.

FWIW, I'm really digging qobuz

Good point.  Maybe this is the push we all need to move off streaming music platforms and just buy music again?  Direct from artists?  

Also a great idea! Support the peeple who actually create the music we like

Glad they gave me a good reason to cancel my subscription. There are cheaper services out there anyway

I've sent in my cancellation and it really bums me out. Spotify is my top used app and it's not even close. I can't believe they think it's okay to support what's happening in our streets.

I will cancel my Premium subscription.  I will reinstate it immediately I hear from Spotify that they have stopped taking fascist money and will not do so again.  

Bootlickers.

I have cancelled my account because of the above.

 

Do not enable Fascism.

 

You are part of the problem now.

Very disappointing. Bye bye Spotify. 

It has been brought to my attention that Spotify is running ads in support of ICE. Is this true? I would seriously doubt the vast majority of Spotify subscribers and artists would agree with this poor decision. The current administration is tearing our country apart. Does Spotify want to be a part of this dismantling?

I too will be canceling my premium membership after more than a decade if this doesn't stop immediately. SHAME ON YOU, SPOTIFY!

Reject any US government ads recruiting for ICE. 

I just cancelled my subscription upon learning this, very disappointed.

This is my MOST USED APP. Im **bleep** and canceling 

I hope this is not true. I am a premium subscriber, so I don't hear the ads. Has an official from Spotify come forward and said anything?
