This has nothing to do with free speech.
Spotify is not being compelled by any authority to remove or keep content on their platform. The only reason why Spotify hosts or removes content is because it's what they decide is best given market pressures.
- tomschlick 5y agoFree speech is a principle that is not exclusive to the Constitution. Something can be anti-free speech and not involve the government.

- RobLach 5y agoSure, but some external force compelling Spotify against their will to publish speech or censor speech, using their own resources, to harm themselves, is precisely not free speech. Spotify sells subscriptions to content to make a profit. If something harms that why should they be forced to endure that?
