Spotify has confirmed it is no longer running recruitment ads for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. This announcement came after months of pressure and backlash from listeners. However, many users are not satisfied with the explanation.
A large number of Spotify users believe this change came too late to make a real difference. Listeners had been canceling their subscriptions and demanding the platform remove the ads because of ICE’s controversial activities. Most critics think Spotify only stopped the ads because the contract ended, not because the company took any moral position.
