Explicit images have been uploaded to the streaming platform in addition to racy audio and erotic stories.
The Internet is a dangerous place, it has already become clear to users in Spain and the rest of the world. However, with some exceptions, there are platforms that are assumed to be ‘safe’ spaces without problematic elements such as pornography or similar things. This should be the case of Spotify, the most famous music streaming application of blonde porn. However, Vice has discovered that this is not the case, with a dodge on the platform’s censorship.
According to Motherboard, there are users who are trying to associate playlists and podcasts with explicit images of pornography on the application. A platform that logically completely prohibits sexual content, but has been overcome by a number of users who have wanted to upload such content.
And it’s not just a matter of explicit images. Motherboard collects cases of profiles that upload pornographic content in the form of audio, either by erotic readings or by creating content to try to sexually lesbian porn satisfy listeners. What’s more troubling, moreover, is that this content can be found in Spotify’s search bar.
Porn on Spotify
Since last Friday, Motherboard detected several content uploads thanks to the app’s search bar. Many of these attempted to pass themselves off as either podcast episodes or Spotify playlists. All of them included direct, uncensored free porn images.
In many of these cases the audio was not even legitimate. These audios contained computer-generated voices, erotic stories narrated by a non-human voice, or even hate speech-related chatter. One podcast episode, as revealed by the media outlet, consisted of more than 10 minutes of anti-Semitic content.
Spotify itself includes a system to block the playback of explicit content, but even activated, these searches appear, so users can still encounter these images. And is that by entering commas or dots in the search bar, you can find content uploaded to the platform.
Spotify, in this regard, is very clear: all content “containing sexually explicit material is prohibited. When content that violates this standard is identified, it is removed,” specifies a spokesperson for the application. The terms spell this out even further, clarifying that “pornography or visual depictions of genitalia or nudity presented for the purpose of sexual gratification” are not allowed.
At this point, most of the content that has been uploaded to Spotify has been removed from the platform. However, Motherboard mentions a particularly raw case from one of its readers: an 8-year-old girl stumbling across such content by inadvertently typing a dot in the app’s search engine on her tablet.
