Recently it’s come to our attention that Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, who Forbes estimates is worth over $10 billion, is now investing some of the money he makes off the back of Spotify subscriptions to fund military drones.
This is via a company called Helsing, who provide what they call “precision mass and autonomous capabilities to democracies so they can deter and protect”.
I’m removing Undo and all of my other content from Spotify, as I don’t want my content to fund any kind of military operation. The world is already full of white men with no necks who have rigid hardons for war, and I don’t want any part of enabling them.
