Hello, my name is Sharon Brown.
1:44:16
Before I begin, remember Israel released the hostages, let Yahweh's people go defend Israel.
1:44:22
Okay, for employment, we cannot employ homosexuals and transgender in the workplace.
1:44:29
Homosexuality, transgender, LGBTQIA must be banned from the workplace.
1:44:35
I ask that the city council and mayor acknowledge we are a Judeo Christian nation and homosexuality must be barred and removed.
1:44:44
I am currently suing Spotify, Google, and a couple of other companies concerning my music.
1:44:54
The it is a terrible situation for the musicians.
1:44:58
A lot of the situations there are bigger artists out there and the instead of you getting your streamings, other people are getting streamings.
1:45:10
There's a whole lot of criminal activity that is going on with Spotify.
1:45:16
If you look on the search engine to look at your music, you'll notice that Spotify and Google are removing some of your searches.
1:45:26
So if I have a song called heterosexuality or something like that, Google and Spotify together remove it so that people are not clicking to be able to go to your music.
1:45:41
Some people that were looking for my music, they said they tried to click on it, they were not able to access the music.
1:45:49
So some of these streaming platforms are doing it intentionally and they are still collecting the monies for whoever, however, whatever they're doing with the monies, but you're getting clicks.
1:46:02
People aren't able to listen to your music, so there's a lot of different shady things that are going on and I am currently in federal court court with a bunch of the different companies.
1:46:15
Some of the songs and things they don't want to put out there, just one last sentence.
1:46:20
Please wrap up.
1:46:21
Some of the songs they don't want to put out there but then like a week or two later someone else comes out with a song similar to your topic.
1:46:30
So there's something going on there.
