The company is steadily expanding its foothold on the market, and this means that it\u2019s buying up companies to aid in that process. Spotify purchased a company called Kinzen to help detect harmful content in its podcasts.<br \/>\nPodcasting is a major source of entertainment today, and this makes for major problems. Every platform meant to spread knowledge and positive energy can also be used to spread misinformation and negative energy.<br \/>\nThis is compounded by the fact that it\u2019s so easy to create a podcast. Anyone could quickly record a podcast about anything and post it to a myriad of different podcast platforms. This makes policing the podcast industry very difficult.<br \/>\nBut, Spotify believes that Kinzen can help with this process<br \/>\nKinzen is a company based in Dublin, Ireland that specializes in detecting harmful content on the internet including misinformation, hate speech, and violent extremism.<br \/>\nIt has technology suited to detecting dangerous information in multiple languages and across multiple forms of media. This includes audio, text, and video. The company uses a mix of AI and human expertise to effectively spot any type of hateful or harmful content.<br \/>\nSo, as you can imagine, is something that Spotify can use to help keep its podcast platform clean. Since Spotify is a large podcasting platform, there\u2019s no telling just how many shows are created by, let\u2019s just say, \u201cunsavory\u201d characters.<br \/>\nThe two companies partnered back in 2020, but it seems that Spotify didn\u2019t just want to be friends. We\u2019re not sure if this acquisition means that Kinzen won\u2019t be able to provide its services to other companies. Let\u2019s just hope that the company can still help other companies detect harmful content, as that\u2019s something that we can use a lot more of these days.<br \/>\nThe post Spotify Bought A Company To Detect Harmful Content In Podcasts appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Spotify-Logo-scaled-1.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1419\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify is one of the main players in the podcast game, and it\u2019s been working on making the experience better.
