If you use the Neil Young’s Archives website, you may need to create a new application. The artist spent $ 20,000 to remove Facebook and Google sign-ups from the site, according to Variation.
“Facebook lets science and lies circulate in its political ads on the platform, while bots sow discord among users,” Young wrote in a statement sent to users. “Dispersing dissent and chaos in our country through political disinformation is something we cannot tolerate. Simply put, Facebook joins our election. “
Young also called Facebook “the corrupt social platform”, although he did not explain why he targeted Google. “The money we spend to get out of this mess is … in line with what we have maintained: the irresponsible social media platform over the past two years,” Young wrote.
A note from the site’s administration team said that updating login information should take “just a few extra mouse clicks”. “
Politics has motivated many of Young’s activities lately. Earlier this month, he filed a lawsuit against the Trump campaign for viewing his songs “Rockin ‘in the Free World” and “Devil’s Sidewalk” at rallies. “The campaign does not have a license now and at the time of the Tulsa Rally [Young’s] permission to play the two songs at any public political event, ”claims the suit. The singer-songwriter seeks the highest amount of damages he can get for copyright infringement.
He also recently updated his song, “Lookin ‘for a Leader,” which originally skewed George W. Bush, with lyrics now aimed at Trump. “Yes, we had Barack Obama,” Young sings about the new version, “and we really need him now / The man who stood behind him must somehow take his place / America has a leader who build walls around our house / He don ‘I know that black life is a matter and we had to vote for him. “
