Spotify deletes fake podcasts linked to drug sales
Spotify announced that over the past year, it removed more than 57,000 podcast episodes and 3,000 shows. Additionally, it targeted around 3,500 accounts associated with a network promoting illegal online pharmacies that use misleading content. Reports reveal that most of these podcasts were fake, designed to manipulate search algorithms and direct users to unlicensed drug-selling websites, including sources for opioids and performance-enhancing substances. Investigations show that artificial intelligence plays a role in automatically generating counterfeit content, which worsens the problem, and that loopholes in regulatory systems allow these activities to continue.
