JAKARTA Since the beginning of this year, Spotify has started adding video support on its music platform, both for podcasts and music from certain artists. Unfortunately, this feature was misused by several parties.

According to a report by one of Reddit users, citing the report of The Verge, the results of the MIA rapper's search for pornographic videos. It is not yet certain whether the video has been deleted by Spotify because some parties did not find pornographic content.

However, it can be ascertained that content labeled not safe for work (NSFW) managed to qualify for the music streaming platform. The reason is, one of the accounts directed by The Verge has managed to publish erotic audio for years.

After Spotify allowed music videos and podcasts on its platform, the account also started uploading sexual videos. There are still several other accounts that do the same with an account name consisting of a long alphanumeric character.

This unclear account has been active since last November as part of the podcast. However, this account was misused to upload an explicit video. It's unclear why these accounts managed to escape Spotify's monitoring, but the platform has taken action.

Spotify representative Laura Batey said that they had deleted accounts with NSFW content for violating platform policies. It is noted in the policy that podcast artists or creators should not sexually upload explicit material.

It seems that these accounts qualify or do not go through a moderation process. If you find an account with pornographic content on Spotify, you can report the account by copying the content URL and logging into the web page to report the violation.
