Spotify CEO admits its content policy should've been public before now
from the service last week, Spotify said it had pulled"over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic."
Ek admitted that Spotify was late in publishing its content policy and took sole responsibility for not doing so sooner."We should've done it earlier and that's on me," he explained. He also said he doesn't expect any"churn" or loss of customers due to the current podcast predicament. He was clear it's too early to tell, but that past"controversies" usually play out in"months not days.
