The media big additionally factors out they don’t take away content material about or by individuals who later trigger controversy. They are saying there’s nothing antisemitic within the film, so there’s no motive for them to take away it. Whereas which may be true, it’s clearly not how everybody feels. Lately the music of R. Kelly and Michael Jackson has been faraway from radio and streaming platforms regardless of the songs themselves not being controversial.

However does it make a distinction that Ye isn’t going to revenue off the product?

Movie studio MRC clearly felt in a different way. They shelved a complete, fully completed documentary after the Jesus Walks performer began spouting a lot hate.
