Hmm yeah. Maybe censorship isn't the best weapon to use against Nazis.

It feels more like a PR-grab "us-too" thing than a real moral stance.

I wonder if they would be doing this had it not been for the events of the past few weeks.

I expect more companies to follow suit. You can't have an impartial platform managed by partial people. Not saying they're wrong to do so, but it does contradict their music accessibility stance.
