“Don’t stream fascism”: No Kings organizers encourage Spotify boycott

Source: SFGate

“For those who’ve been looking for a new way to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, political nonprofit the Indivisible Project has some advice: Cancel your Spotify account. The nonprofit organization best known for helping to organize recent No Kings protests across the country released a statement Tuesday announcing a campaign called ‘Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify’ in response to the revelations that the music streaming platform has been hosting recruiting ads for ICE on its platform. ‘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,’ Indivisible wrote in a statement explaining the campaign. SFGATE reported on the ads in mid-October, noting that they promise signing bonuses of up to $50,000 as well as benefits like tuition reimbursement.” (10/30/25)
