    This list seems to confi that Spotify did not donate for J. Biden : https://web.archive.org/web/20210122110624/https://bideninaugural.org/brqrthk6dhdn94xx/

    Although, I think I’d still be careful with that limited information:

    1. This was an online event during the pandemic
    2. I’m not american and I sometime don’t get your culture, wtf is this million dollars event that requires big companies to do substantial donations? If they’re invited it might be “common procedure” that they donate in return? In that case donating would be the neutral thing to do? (Which is still a bit cowardly)

    what is spotify pretending to be?

    In addition to the brunch, Sweden’s Dagens Nyheter reports that Spotify donated $150,000 USD to the inauguration ceremony and celebration. Apple and Amazon, whose music-streaming arms are among Spotify’s competitors, donated $1 million USD each to Trump’s inauguration, Variety and Axios reported recently.

    This is the video that convinced me to drop Spotify after 7 years to join Tidal.

    It’s a long watch, but high quality and entertaining to boot!

    Well, they are legal entities within EU, no? Nontheless this is shitty behaviour.

    Could you please provide a reliable source for the infos stated in the picture?

      Also Google, Tesla etc. have legal entities in Europe, but that does not make them the good guys.
