> All those things are covered under "free speech". There's no legal definition for "hate speech", or "anti-vax speech" or "anti-science speech". They are all ALLOWED.

In the USA, and not everybody lives there. Heck, Spotify, the company in question, is Swedish.

Hate speech has plenty of definitions in plenty of different countries, with varying levels ( e.g. in France blatant overt racism is illegal, in Thailand it's "stoking negative feelings in people" or some other bullshit ).

I'll take the US model since it's clearly superior.

It's actually a UN human right.
