Users have criticized Spotify of ineffective moderation after showing porn videos in the search results for some popular artists.

A thread on Reddit recently gained attention after including a screenshot that showed a porn video appearing as a suggested result in the search results for popular rapper M.I.A.

This isn’t the first instance of porn showing in Spotify in recently weeks. Other users have found explicit videos in the search results, erotic audio tracks being suggested in Discover Weekly, and back in 2022, a Vice story reported sexually explicit audio and graphic nudity in user-made playlist cover art.

While these specific examples seem to have been addressed, how the content slipped through Spotify’s moderation process in the first place remains to be seen. Sexually explicit material goes against Spotify’s Platform Rules, but reporting such posts is difficult from the mobile app.
