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.

If these adds are not removed in short order I will be canceling my premium subscription. It's going to suck losing my playlists.

Spotify is about to FAFO just like ABC News. They won't be able to sustain the lost revenue from all of us "libs" canceling our subscriptions.

I’ve read reports that Spotify is running ads recruiting for ICE. Is this true?

I've heard you can switch to Tidal  or Apple and use Soundiiz to transfer everything. That's what I'm getting ready to do at the end of my billing cycle. I've given spotify too many chances ATP

Hey Spotify- are you really that greedy you'll take money from **bleep**? **bleep** you. Cancelling at the end of this billing cycle if you don't the ads.

thanks for the tip on Tidal...I wasn't aware of it and unfortunately as you said, Apple is also deserving of as much boycotting as possible until Tim Cook gets his head out of his ass and grows a pair. Canceling my Spotify Subscription now...painful but necessary!

I too am cancelling my subscription because of Spotify's complicity in promoting Trump's ICE recruitment campaign. He is literally using

ICE to foment a civil war. Sadly, our main source of power these days is financial - money talks and it is one of the only ways we the people can take back our power. So let's punish with boycotts and reward with economic stewardship for the businesses and companies who are courageous enough to take a stand against Trump's bullying

[ray1972]

Yes, I have heard it before a podcast. If I hear it again, I’m canceling premium and deleting the app from all devices. I do not pay to have fascism shoved down my throat

Bye I‘m gone

I just downloaded both the Qobuz app and the Tidal App. I was able to transfer all of my Spotify playlists and albums to both apps and will try both of them out before deciding which one to go with. Wish I had done this sooner, as Spotify also pays the artists the lowest rate per streamed song of all the streaming platforms Apparently, both Qobuz and Tidal pay the highest rate. I was planning to resubscribe to Spotify if they pulled their ICE recruitment ads but now that I transferred over all my playlists to these other 2 platforms I'm done for good. Also just FYi, both Apple and Google have also been complicit in supporting Trump's use of ICE has his personal army, so switching to Apple/Tim Cook or YouTube for music is kind of a lateral move. And Amazon/Jeff Bezos is yet another ass kisser of Trump. Time to punish all of these **bleep**ers by withholding the only thing they care about - our money 💵

Pandora has ads for ICE too on their free version.

Don't know how to get this note to the leaders at Spotify, but maybe they will see it if I post it here? If people have an email address to suggest where I should send this I would appreciate. Thanks! Dear Spotify - I am very concerned to learn that Spotify is running ads to recruit ICE for the US government. This is NOT OK!!!! ICE is kidnapping people off the streets without due process. Their actions are both immoral and unconstitutional and you shouldn't be running ads for them on your platform. I can't believe I am asking you not to run ads from the US government, but this is where we find ourselves. We have been loyal paying customers of Spotify for many years. We are being asked to boycott. I'm hoping you will change course so we can continue to enjoy the great platform you've created. Please change course.

Can someone share an ad Spotify ran for this? I haven’t seen it yet but would absolutely cancel if there’s proof.

[pgetec]

Canceling Spotify now.  Just signed up for Qobuz.  Shame on you, Spotify.

[Markosko]

Just canceled my subscription. Shame, taking everything from us like this  

[Michaeluser32]

Spotify you need to stop taking dirty money or you won’t have mine

[alien236]

I canceled my Premium subscription yesterday. Enough is enough. Spotify doesn't deserve another chance.

[Meeki00]

I heard Pandora was also signed up to air ice ads

[crabtreemolly]

Just did the same!
