Spotify and DistroKid censored my music!

Over the past month, I’ve been creating music with the help of AI as part of my side-work as a true human-rights activist, not those puppets who are paid by the US and Western allies to promote their propaganda.

Using DistroKid, I distributed my tracks to platforms like Spotify, while also reactivating my X/Twitter account (even going through their ID verification process) to share my message with a wider audience.

But only a few days after posting about my song protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine, my X account was suddenly suspended without any valid explanation. Less than a month online—and silenced. This is what “freedom of speech” looks like in the so-called free world.

As someone who has lived both inside and outside Iran, I can tell you honestly: the illusion of free speech in the West is often worse than the reality in Iran’s darkest times (a few decades ago, not now, now Iran is much better than the West, even with all those hate-based Western/US sanctions on Iranians). Western governments, just like authoritarian regimes, crush the truth when it threatens the Mafias who run their regimes, especially the financial Mafia that owns almost everything. That silencing that these neo-Nazs use, is the same tactic the German Nazs used decades ago, not if worse.

I released a new song against Neo Naz*s, and ...

This crackdown happened right after I released a new song calling out Neo-Nazs and modern fa$$$cism. Does this mean these platforms are indirectly protecting fa$$$cist ideologies? They silenced me just because the song was against Nazs and new Naz*s who do the same under rebranded mask!

You can still watch the music video on my YouTube channel before it, too, gets censored by the same Zionist-supremacist neo-fa$$$cists who kill innocents and bury the truth, just like Hitler’s propaganda machine did during WWII.

You can watch the music video of that song here or here (if YouTube also later censors it):

DistroKid together with their partners silenced my voice

Here’s what happened step by step:

First, I uploaded the song with all the details (artwork, lyrics, etc): Song cover 1

Then, I received an email rejecting my release: Excuse 1

I re-uploaded the track with a censored version of the artwork to address their concerns: Song cover 2

Then, they rejected it again with a completely different excuse: Their second excuse!

I updated the artwork once more, clearly stating the song is against all Naz*s: The 3rd version of the song cover, mentioning that this song is against all Naz*s

Despite this, they simply said we don't want your music (with wired reasoning to silence the voice): Weired reasoning to silence my voice against Naz*s

Then after that, I reached out to DistroKid's support, and then their support responded with this vague message, which is used when these platforms/businesses/countries don't have anything to justify their dictatorship-style censorship: DistroKid's initial response

Spotify joined the censorship!

Interestingly, without any warnings, Spotify disabled all my tracks, right after DistroKid removed every single one of my releases!!!

The final response from DistroKid

Finally, after receiving a lot of money from my for having used DistroKid, they just responded to me with this vague message, stating that while they have decided to silence my voice, they cannot do anything!!! DistroKid's support disappeared

Next time you think you have freedom of speech in the West, remember that you have nothing but an "illusion of freedom of speech" and you are more fucked-up/dictatorship than countries like Iran.

The message is clear

The message is clear: you cannot speak out against modern-day fa$$$cism, because—just as during WWII—the powerful control the narrative with money, propaganda, and censorship. They brainwash people, turn extremists into tools, and silence anyone who dares to expose them. What just happend simply means you cannot speak out against Nazs, either the old ones or the new ones! That means, DistroKid, Spotify, X, and probably many more businesses who are dependent on the banker's money/loans, have decided to bend and obey these modern Fascists and help them silence whoever dares to speak out against them! It is interesting that they pretend to be against Nazs, and silence the voice of those, like me, who are against Nazs! They use "law," or "policies," and most of the time their personal opinion, to supress the truth; which means they directly or indirectly support modern Nazsm/fa$$$cism!

Freedom of speech is nothing but an illusion in the West! ⚠️

As a person who had lived in Iran for more than three decades and then lived in Europe for a few years, I can confidently say that in Iran we had more freedom of speech compared to what you have in Europe and the US, a new dictatorship hiding behind the fake mask of democracy, where "your choice" is nothing but what has already been decided for you by the financial Mafia of oligarchs who don't want you to hear the truth. (to understand what I mean, look at the cartoon illustrated at 2:27 of this vide)

That's why a random person at Spotify or DistroKid will be given the power to silence my voice, simply because they don't want you to hear the truth, or even worse, if they harbor personal animosity towards people with "non-Western names" like me, which is quite common in the jungle of most Western countries. That's why most of those haters (usually far-right extremists) support neo-fa$$$cism, just because they are full of hatred, and they don't want people like me to speak against fa$$cism and neo-Naz*sm, which they support.

As my song was against Nazs, does that mean DistroKid and Spotify are actually supporting them?! Is that why they removed the content?! Because they support new Nazs?!

If you remember, they socially t3rrorized Akbar Ganji and Elahe Sharifpour-Hicks a few years ago with false accusations and propaganda, alongside many other real human-rights activists (not their puppets who pretend to "care"), just because we do not bow in front of those who want to enslave us all. The ones who brutally attacked people in Poland about a century ago are now killing Palestinians in Gaza. They illegally invade other countries with a new fake mask, and kill innocent women and kids in Palestine, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran (in memory of Iranian women and scientists who Israel terrorized). Who's gonna be next? China? Russia? East/West Europe? Me? You? Other human-rights activists? Who?

You may think you’re safe

You may think you’re safe if you live in the US or Europe, but you’re not. Sooner or later, this machine of hate and control comes for everyone who refuses to bow down. Today the West is becoming 100 times worse than what Iran ever was at its lowest point—because far-right neo-Nazi extremists run Israel, and their puppets in the US hold the strings.

Once more, what just happend to me, as an example, proves that, even though Hitler died, Fascists didn't! They just rebranded themselves into "Project Izrael", and shifter their hatred towards Muslims, Arabs, and Iranians. Freedom of speech in the West is nothing but an illusion, while the whole West is run by the Mafia of Zio-bankers who want to enslave us all! Now it is Palestinians turn, later, it will be yours...

Remember, a few decades ago, your parents in the middle-class could have a good life, while now, even if you are rich, you cannot afford most things anymore. Why? Because your money, together with ours, is stolen by those Mafias! Those Mafias who blackmail your corrupt politicians and brainwash you to hate others and support them, while they kill others and steal your money and the future of your kids...

Remember, your silence means: you'll give them time to enslave us all! Including me, you, and your kids, if that's what you want for them...
