Stockport MP raises Spotify grooming case in parliament after girl, 11, posted explicit pictures of herself
A Stockport MP has called for an urgent statement from the government after a schoolgirl was groomed by a secret porn network on Spotify.
The MP for Denton and Reddish said: "Can we have an urgent statement from either the Home Secretary or Culture Secretary about the shifting focus of online harms to platforms that possible fall outside the scope of the bill before parliament. It was due to finish its Commons stages in July but was scrapped to hold a confidence vote in the former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. The bill has since been re-written following a row among Conservative MPs about freedom of speech online.
"But also the government is always going to have to be advancing and adapting the tools we have. I will raise this matter with the Secretary of State and ask her team get in touch with the hon. Gentleman’s office." A spokesperson for Spotify said they 'take the safety of minors on our platform extremely seriously' and had removed the exploitative content, and terminated the user in question.
