Spotify acquires Dublin firm Kinzen to identify harmful content

Kinzen was founded by broadcasters Áine Kerr and Mark Little

Spotify said it would be more transparent in how it determines what is acceptable and unacceptable content

Audio-streaming service Spotify Technology said it has acquired Kinzen, a Dublin firm that has helped it identify harmful content on the platform.

The acquisition is part of Spotify’s efforts to deal with harmful content on its service after backlash earlier this year over "The Joe Rogan Experience," in which the podcaster was accused of spreading misinformation about Covid-19.
