This week, Spotify is making it clearer to users how it tackles misinformation by outlining its content actions, the existing guidelines that have already been in use by the platform to limit misinformation.

In late January, Spotify chief executive officer Daniel Ek announced that Platform Rules—a policy framework for creators to use as a guide for discussing Covid-19 content—would be published on the platform’s site. Defying these rules could lead to content removal.

Now that Spotify has made its content actions public, platform users can see details of the protocol the company will take to ensure the platform limits the spread of misinformation.
