The music streaming service hosts bands with white supremacist and neo-Nazi names and actively promotes them on social media.

However, a quick search on its website reveals a host of bands that have fascist or white supremacist names and use neo-Nazi imagery or lyrics.

A dive into Liberplay's Telegram channel shows it regularly promotes clothing and music brands run by white supremacists. Liberplay said it needed credit cards to pay for one of three monthly paid subscriptions ranging from € 7.99 to €29.99 .NewsweekBut, he said the design of the website did not overtly show its far-right content and that people would have to actively look at the band names to understand it was hosting white supremacist music.:"That's where it becomes problematic for some of these companies.

The statement, sent via email, added:"We operate our network on the principle that consumers should be able to make lawful purchases. He said:"Last I saw [Liberplay] was close to 4,000 songs that they've got on their platform, which that's not huge when you compare it to something like Spotify. But, since it is a genre of music that is very specific I think that's pretty incredible."

Liberplay's Flickr account lists the name"Anders Andersson," although the first and surnames are common in Scandinavia and could be a pseudonym.had already removed Liberplay from its platforms when Newsweek first searched for them and Instagram took down its page after it was alerted to the white supremacist content.
