The online music streaming platform Spotify has rolled out a new initiative which they call, [B]"[/B]Hate Content and Hateful Conduct Public Policy[B]"[/B] which aims to police the catalog of controversial artists on the grounds that their actions in their private lives and music content must abide with accepted moral standards of Spotify's Official Playlists.

In simple English Spotify have instructed their engineers to tweak their recommendation algorithms in such a way that music from artists who have a repugnant public image of being terrible people due to their behavior or crimes e.g. rape, sexual misconduct, xenophobia, racism, antisemitism, anti-feminism, homophobia, pedophilia, necrophilia, etc will NOT show up in Spotify's Promotional Playlists.

Perhaps this will encourage many artists to have high moral standards so that in future when they release music they will not be caught on the wrong side of Spotify's Hate Content & Hate Conduct.
