Spotify, the popular Swedish music and podcast platform, has become a source of sexually exploitative material and harassment of minors.

"We are not talking about suggestive album covers or 'racy' lyrics," clarified NCOSE. "NCOSE has found what appears to be a network of individuals — minors and adults trading, sharing, soliciting, and posting hardcore pornography, what looked to be child sexual abuse material (CSAM), deepfake pornography of female celebrities, and even self-harm imagery."

According to NCOSE, Spotify "doesn't have a straightforward way to report these crimes and harms to the app — an industry standard that could literally save children's lives."

Spotify was on NCOSE's list last year.
