Spotify is facing issues with pornographic and adult content infiltrating its podcasts, despite formally prohibiting sexually explicit material.
With the support for video podcasts, Spotify has seen a rise in explicit video content and reuploads from Pornhub in its top podcast charts.
The platform's expanded definition of podcasts has made it easier for non-podcast content to pass as such, resulting in the influx of inappropriate material.
While explicit audio recordings have also increased, Spotify removes such content when detected as it goes against the platform's guidelines.
