Spotify Boycott
Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, has called for a boycott of the music streaming service Spotify because of Spotify’s allowing ICE to run recruitment advertisements on the service. Levin announced Indivisible’s national “Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify” Campaign urging people to cancel Spotify subscriptions until the streaming giant stops airing recruitment ads for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE):
“Spotify is exploiting the work of artists to line their pockets while recruiting for ICE – a secret police force that is terrorizing American communities. Spotify is actively amplifying the Trump regime’s drive to authoritarianism.”
“Billionaire and Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, as well as soon-to-be co-CEOs Gustav Söderström and Alex Norström, decided to cash-in by peddling a hate agenda. They could have refused this contract, like other platforms already have. Instead, they chose authoritarianism and profit over their artists and listeners.”
The demands of this campaign include:
- Spotify must terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts.
- Spotify must update its Advertising Policy to prohibit government propaganda and hate-based recruitment.
- Spotify must commit to standing up for first amendment rights in the face of authoritarian intimidation.
