Sen. Maggie Hassan has demanded that Spotify take immediate action against the 200 fraudulent podcasts promoting opioids discovered in a Business Insider investigation. These podcasts often advertise pills for sale without prescriptions, raising safety concerns particularly regarding fentanyl. In her letter to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, Hassan underscored the urgency of tackling content moderation to prevent the spread of harmful and illicit substances. The issue resonates amid a national opioid crisis, prompting calls for collaborative efforts among tech companies and law enforcement to enhance community safety.
"I urge you to take action to prevent fake podcasts that facilitate the illicit sale of drugs - including those that could contain fentanyl - from appearing on your platform."
