Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.)
Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.)
I swear to god, more and more I keep having 'clean' versions play on Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer - despite the song being marked as 'Explicit'.
And no, I definitely do not have the setting checked for only playing clean versions.
It's not just me - is it?
You're viewing a single thread.
Not just you. It fucking sucks. Patti Smiths Song "Rock n Roll removed" is gone from Spotify too, for example.
Why did you write removed rather than whatever word it actually was?
Some apps or instances auto censor some words, like the N word in the song there, or retard is another, it’s other use is using a retarder to slow a chemical reaction.
I got banned on Facebook for saying "fatty acids" because "fatty" is a bad word.
This sounds so stupid that I believe it could be true.
Don't fat-shame the acids!
"if you think fatty is a bad word you might be a fatty"
Delicious
Retardation is also something to do with maths.
Yeah, my retardation kept me from passing it
😂 Lmao same
And ignition timing for engines.
Your Lemmy instance is censoring it
Does lemm.ee really censor words? I couldn't find anything on their website about that
I didn't know programming.dev censored words, that's disappointing
Admin here, there should be nothing censored atm apart from a couple scam links
Not sure why that says removed but its not on our end (and its like that everywhere). Lemmy probably has some handling where it also censors if the posters instance says so
I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the answer!
..jeez, the irony
That's weird that the original is gone, the Marilyn Manson cover of it is still on there. In a more egregious example, the Anal Cunt song "Beating Up N*s That Sell Fake Crack" is still up too.
Good spotting! Maybe Spotify execs have beef with people selling fake crack?
