Worth noting:

according to Deezer themselves the largest shareholder is Access Industries. And according to OpenSecrets Access Industries has donated large sums to the Republican parties, the largest being in 2016 (Donald Trump's first term) and in 2024. Moreover, according to Vice in 2018, executives at Access Industries and billionaire Blavatnik (Access Industries founder) have ties with associates of Vladmiri Putin.

I moved from Deezer to Qobuz. Here's to hoping something doesn't come out about them too, so I dont have to completely abandon any convenient way to listen to music. I've been slowly building up a CD collection but Qobuz is great for finding music.

an investment company with ties to the government? shocking

You do what you want with your money, but selecting or not a service based on whether there's an investment company holding a significant share on it, that happens to donate 30% more to party X over Y is a weird argument. Dig enough and you'll run out of companies to buy things from.
