Q. What clicks in your mind when you think of "Spotify"?
A. MUSIC, & why not, it's just an audio songs app.

NO. It's not just a music app anymore but a rising propaganda machine targeting the youth of the country who are major subscribers base, via their podcasts.

Read on..
1/
Popular among youngsters, the App grabbed decent footprint (2+mn subs), since launched (Feb19). Music-loving nation & smartphone explosion brought better revenue & branding (got 3x after IND launch), further pushed with 2mn PODCAST hosting. Announced 12 more IND lang in Apr21
2/
The problem is not making business. The problem comes here-
Spotify tied up with The Indian Express for their PODCASTs '3Things'. Now just look at the subject & the narrative they are injecting here in the series. Stan Swamy, Kalita bail, "Ayodhya land scam", "Loni assault",
3/
"Modi worsens economy", Bengal's prep for 3rd wave, Mukul Roy's returns TMC, Pawar's meeting/opp. coming together against BJP, KRL HC stays Lakshadweep reform.. and whatnot!! Even if you can't spend time listening all, just read the description & the rest is self-explanatory.
4/
If this isn't enough, look at the other Podcast channels that Spotify host- Quint,NewsLaundry,ThePrint, Ashraf Engg,WSJ,NYT,BBC etc. Is anybody left..? Yes, none other than ultra propagandist Dhruv Rathee!! Now that makes list complete. Isn't birds of a feather flock together?
5/
A Swedish co making bucks in IND while partnering these anti-India, anti-govt elements, who spew venom against own country, spread negativity d&n, gradually making room in youngsters sub-conscious mind to brainwash them is nothing but just another tactic of info-war ecosystem!
6/
NO @eldsjal @spotifyindia @AmarBatra, it doesn't work like this! You may have your personal biases, political opinions, but do not use essentially a music app, as a propaganda hub like this that affects the masses. Spotify must review podcast content & channel choices!

INC handler & hyper RTI activist Saket Gokhale who admits to just 'survive' on crowdfunding, made Rs 76 Lac in a span of 17 months (avg just Rs 4.4Lac/pm)

Read on...
1/n
In Aug-Oct19 he sought donation for filing PIL against PM, collected Rs 5.7 Lac.
In Nov'19 kicked-off another one for 'fighting against BJP/RSS', raised Rs. 22 Lac in just 11 wks. This is when anti-CAA propaganda was raging. Since the link is broken,exact amount is not known.
2/n
Oct'20- farmer 'protest' was rising, he initiated next funding & collected whooping Rs. 48 Lac in 2 months. He claimed to move on other platform on 28Dec'20, citing "payment g/w issue", which eventually ended on 26Jan'21 (coincidently Delhi R!ots day)

Today we won’t talk about a Rs 3Cr Merc-Maybach GLS600 that Sonu gifted to his son early this week (any generous father would do), parked aside Audi Q7, Merc Benz ML-C3, Porsche Panamera, specially in parallel, he talks something about ‘giving’.

PART 2 (Money🐝Bee) begins-
1/n
Sood, emerged as ‘real-life’ hero (as per cozy media) with his PR & ‘philanthropy’ work through donations. Keeping analysis limited to top few at various platforms by him/close associates, raised some Rs11+ Cr so far, incl. $$ funding. (Pls spend 2min on pic before scrolling)
2/n
1a: Sood's SCF website re-directs on Milaap for FC donors, where funds are being collected in a USA bank a/c then wire to (assuming) Milaap India to SCF or direct to SCF a/c. Neither Milaap nor SCF is FCRA reg. Also routing funds to other a/c is another FCRA violation.

Overnight ‘Messiah’ Sonu Sood came under the radar for black marketing of COVID-specific drug. While the matter is under investigation (by Hon'ble BOM HC), we have some other behind-the-curtain findings.

This is going to be Three parts long thread.
(co-researcher @vinod1703)
1/n
PR1. SM star Sood’s Twitter followership jumped by whooping 84times in May’20 (7K to 622K), by now he has 7.9Mn, adding 1.2Mn in just May’21 month i.e. avg 41K per day which is, for a perspective, almost double than that of NaMo, RaGa, BigB & Virat's numbers.
2/n
In a couple of months his stardom mushroomed, Sood drifted in oblivion of a larger-than-life Messiah image, 'leveling' himself to the national institution, backed up by his political friends, a section of media, and Bollywood.

NO. Its not just a 'publicity stunt', but much BIGGER than that. So what's exactly happening in "ghughat ki aad me"?

5G may be new but #JuhiChawala's 'concern' for radiation is nothing new. In the disguise of activism drama, a family business plot lies.

1/6
Chawla is active since 2013 as an anti-radiation crusader along with her technology advisor (read partner), an IIT-B professor Girish Kumar who published many hyper articles on mobile tower 'harmful impact'. Not so coincidently his daughter Neha was once director ops for..

2/6
of a wireless solution Wilcom Tech Pvt Ltd, (makes products like radiation shield & EMF testing P3) before starting her venture NESA Radiation Sol. Pvt Ltd.(P2) No need to mention the setup was more of a family business, where father sells 'fear' & daughter antidote (P1).

#BREAKING: Rs. 63L MISSING FROM RANA AYYUB KETTO FUNDRAISING. i.e. approx 43% of amount!!!
Status on 23-May=1.46 Cr; Fundraising ended on 28-May with 82L.

Context :

(Research partner @vinod1703)

1/3
On further we check found that all foreign currency funding & donors are MISSING from the donor's list. Check in the latest snapshot of how donations with $ SGD are missing and Rana Ayyub with same amount (Rs.1L) moved up in Top Donors list. (Technically not possible)
2/3
Besides blatant FCRA violation severity of discrepancies now indicating possible SCAM. Imagine this is just one such fundraising.
It'll be very unfortunate despite whistleblowing in series, no authority has taken it up so far.
