The ads urge listeners to “join the mission to protect America” by becoming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, but users of the music streaming giant have taken to social media and Spotify’s website to complain, and announce their withdrawal from the audio platform.

I left Spotify two months ago for Tidal when it came out that the CEO of Spotify was funding AI murder drones. Tidal is a downgrade in a lot of ways, but I don't want the money I spend on music to fund research into how to kill people more efficiently. It also was a stark reminder that I need to keep copies of music that I listen to all the time, so I've started stockpiling music.
