Spotify is forced to remove songs about massacres

▤ Summary

A Brazilian court ordered Spotify to remove playlists, songs, and profiles linked to violent and hate-related content. The case centers on materials that investigators say promoted school massacres and spread through interconnected profiles and recommendation systems. Authorities also ordered preservation of account data for one year and sharing of that data with investigators. Spotify said it already complied with the ruling and reiterated that it removes content that violates its policies. The broader investigation continues as officials work to identify the people behind the content.
