They are being localized into various languages to help our users understand how Spotify assesses all content on our platform. You can now find them on our newsroom, and they’ll live permanently on the main Spotify website. These are rules of the road to guide all of our creators-from those we work with exclusively to those whose work is shared across multiple platforms.

We have had rules in place for many years but admittedly, we haven’t been transparent around the policies that guide our content more broadly. You’ve had a lot of questions over the last few days about our platform policies and the lines we have drawn between what is acceptable and what is not.

We know we have a critical role to play in supporting creator expression while balancing it with the safety of our users. Personally, there are plenty of individuals and views on Spotify that I disagree with strongly. Pick almost any issue and you will find people and opinions on either side of it.
To our very core, we believe that listening is everything. A decade ago, we created Spotify to enable the work of creators around the world to be heard and enjoyed by listeners around the world.
