Granted I haven’t used Spotify for anything but an alarm clock ever since I canceled my premium a year ago, but what censorship are you talking about? 80% of my listening time before I quit was rap and I can assure you, there was a lot of bad language. Most albums and singles that have clean versions have a dirty version as well. Back in the day, clean and dirty were listed as separate albums, but they changed it so that it’s one listing and you have to somehow pick which version you want to look at/listen to/add to playlists. But maybe they changed that again I don’t know. I also vaguely remember there being a user setting for showing explicit content, but I’m not sure.
When you request a song through voice (like in your car), it’ll default to clean versions of songs. Even if your settings are allowing explicit lyrics.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Ok. That definitely sucks, but I wouldn’t say that’s Spotify censoring anything. It’s just trash UX.
