Music streaming service Spotify has taken steps to remove bands flagged by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "white power" music in the wake of the Charlottesville tragedy. Spotify's move follows a post on Digital Music News identifying 37 bands named by the SPLC in 2014 in a campaign to have them removed from iTunes.

According to Billboard, Spotify has removed some of the bands, and is in the process of reviewing others. It did not clarify which of the bands it had removed.
