Meta and YouTube, with their large user base especially in India, have been facilitating the dissemination of hate music by hosting, promoting and monetizing hate content, according to a recent report by Washington based think-tank, The Centre for the Study of Organised Hate (CSOH).
The study, titled “Profiting from Hate Music: The Role of YouTube, Meta, Spotify and Apple Music in Hosting and Monetizing India’s Hate Music Industry”, identified more than 500 ‘Hindutva pop hate songs’ over a year (from January 2025 to January 2026) across platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and Meta’s Music Library.
