In the place of Lana Del Rei, Billy Ailish and Lady Gaga remained emptiness.

The Twitter user @izzraifharz drew attention to the Iranian musical streaming service of Melovaz , the creators of which seduced images of women on the covers of albums. Contractors were smeared or painted to the color of the background. At the same time, male musicians remained untouched.
Women were carefully cut out from all images, filling the voids with the background. If a man was depicted on the cover with the performer, then he was left.
The covers of playlists in Melovaz were also censored - from there they removed women, leaving just a colored background. Sometimes men also disappeared from there, but TJ failed to find out the pattern.

At the same time, women were left in stock photographs.

Drawn girls were also not subjected to censorship.

On September 30, the original tweet was mentioned in a large account of pop culture.
Many users considered such censorship funny.
Soon, the rap artist IGGI Azalia drew attention to the streaming service, the image of which was also removed from the site.
In Iran, prohibitions on the self -expression of women in art are established - for example, singers cannot be performed before the public. According to the law, only her close relatives can see the uncovered face and body of a woman. In this case, the rule applied to performers who do not profess Islam and have never been in the country.
