The threat of being dropped from the iOS app store for having offensive content would certainly motivate them.

How's that different from the YouTube app which hosted the same content for years?

According to this [1] Spotify makes 91% of their revenue and nearly 100% of their profits based on premium membership, not ads. I find it unlikely that they're messing with their users' interests to make advertisers happy that make up a rounding error in the profits.

I (N=1) would seriously consider cancelling my Spotify subscription if Spotify kept pushing Alex Jones. It's not that far fetched.

What do you mean by "pushing"? Recommending him in your home page, with no option to disable the said recommendations? Or just hosting him at all on their platform?

Do you have the same opinion about YouTube, which has every political spectrum and its polar opposite on the same platform?

I mean “sponsoring” or “enabling” to a level beyond just existing in their catalog does.

I think it’s great that YouTube, Facebook, Twitter etc also ban Alex Jones yes. I see the risk of tech platforms acting as giant censors to be the smaller problem here.

Interesting. Then perhaps its higher ups in Spotify who might be afraid of getting accused of hosting content that isn't in favor with the MSM and ruling regime in the US?
