At Spotify, we’ve had long-standing policies against content that promotes, solicits, or facilitates harm, including child sexual abuse or exploitation. It is with that commitment in mind that we are announcing the addition of Thorn to our Safety Advisory Council. Thorn is a longstanding safety partner to Spotify and a leading international anti-human trafficking organization that works to address the sexual exploitation of children.
Since 2020, Spotify has integrated Thorn’s feedback to better understand the child safety space and identify emerging abuse trends, helping shape our approach to policy enforcement. We’ve also leveraged their child sexual abuse material (CSAM) moderation technology (Safer.io) to automatically identify, remove, and report CSAM images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
“This partnership is another example of Spotify’s investment in advancing our child safety efforts, which have included hiring child safety experts who have experience working at organizations like NCMEC and our membership as a WeProtect Alliance partner, says Sarah Hoyle, Head of Trust and Safety at Spotify.
The Safety Advisory Council’s mission is to help us evolve our policies and products to help ensure a safe experience, while making sure we respect creator expression. During its first year, the SSAC supported us in an advisory capacity and provided ongoing feedback in key issue areas. Council members do not make enforcement decisions.
Looking ahead, we are excited to partner with Thorn and the rest of the council members to continue evolving our approach to keeping children safe on our platform, tackle emerging issues related to the responsible management of AI-generated content, and ensure we’re creating a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone who uses Spotify.
