Artists who had left Spotify found that, within a few months, some of their tracks and albums had reappeared within the app. At times, the tracks sounded like bad imitations of the original. At others, they sounded nothing like the original at all.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;Regardless of their fidelity to the original, though, imitation tracks were racking up millions of streams &#x2014; and generating revenue in the name of the authentic artist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;As I wrote last year, this was particularly annoying to groups like the Australian psychedelic rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, which had quit Spotify on principle last year after news that then-Spotify CEO Daniel Ek led a &#x20AC;600 million investment in Helsing, which makes military drones and AI tools for weapons systems. They wanted their name and works off Spotify for good. They thought they had left. How were they supposed to police their presence on the platform, when they weren&#x2019;t supposed to have a presence there at all?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;Spotify removed a host of impostor Gizzard tracks last year after &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Platformer &lt;/strong&gt;inquired. Among the challenges, the company told me, is that AI-powered music apps are making it increasingly easy to generate convincing fakes.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;But the larger question remained. Spotify creates strong financial incentives for this kind of domain squatting. Would the company intervene to stop it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;On Tuesday, we got our answer. The company introduced a new feature in beta called artist profile protection designed to prevent what happened to King Gizzard from happening to anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;The company described how it works in &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/5b75ed19?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;a blog post&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote style="margin: 0; padding: 0; border-left: #2047FF 2px solid; font-size: 17px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.6em; letter-spacing: -0.2px;"&gt;&lt;p style="line-height: 1.6em; margin: 2em 25px; font-size: 1em; padding: 0; color: #15212A;"&gt;For the first time on any music streaming service, we&#x2019;re giving you the ability to review and approve or decline releases delivered to Spotify from most providers. To protect your artist identity and prevent listener confusion, only the releases you approve will appear on your artist profile, contribute to your stats, and show up in recommendations to your listeners.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Artist Profile Protection isn&#x2019;t necessary for every artist, but could make sense if you&#x2019;ve experienced repeated incorrect releases, have a common artist name, or want more control over what appears on your profile. It requires you to actively review releases before they go live, so may delay or block your legitimate releases if you forget to take an action. It&#39;s best for those who are comfortable very actively managing their catalog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;The company will also assign artists a unique code, called an artist key, to share with the teams that manage their catalogs. They can include the key when submitting music to Spotify so that it is automatically approved to show up on the artist&#x2019;s profile.&#xA0;&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;On one level, this is one of those features that makes you wonder how the platform hadn&#x2019;t thought to do this already. In hindsight it seems crazy that you could just pretend to be another band and upload songs to their profile without anyone noticing the scam. (Spotify &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; have systems in place designed to prevent this from happening; the company told me last year that they don&#x2019;t work as well for artists who have left the platform.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;On another level, though, the problem really does seem to have grown more complicated over the last year. Recording a passable cover of a relatively arcane back-catalog song from a niche artist used to take a modicum of effort. Today, tools like Suno and Udio allow them to be created with a text prompt. This will not be the last story we hear this year about new AI tools enabling spammers and scammers to overcome defense systems that until now were mostly working fine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;At the same time, I&#x2019;m struck by just how slippery questions about identity are becoming in the AI age. Increasingly, identity is a raw material that scammers, spammers, and even platforms can remix without your permission &#x2014; unless you show up to claw it back.&#xA0;&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;A few months after my story about King Gizzard, the British soul singer Jorja Smith found that &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/9c8f17f8?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;her voice appeared to have been cloned&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and then used by dance act Haven to provide vocals for a song that then went viral on TikTok. Streaming services banned the track after an outcry; when her label asked for royalties, Haven swapped out &#x201C;her&#x201D; vocals for someone else&#x2019;s.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;The band acknowledged using Suno to create the vocals but said they were based on the voice of Haven&#x2019;s Harrison Walker and heavily modified. From Smith&#x2019;s perspective, though, I imagine the experience was surreal and not a little depressing: having a hit song in what sounded like her voice, created without her knowledge or consent, which she made no money from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;Experiences like these extend well beyond music. I got my own taste of it earlier this month when I was one of dozens of people conscripted into &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/8f028db9?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Grammarly&#x2019;s since-deleted AI editor program&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. As with the other cases, something AI-generated was pretending to be me, or at least to be &#x201C;inspired&#x201D; by me, and any economic value that generated would be claimed by someone else.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;There are even darker versions of this, of course, and they can have dire consequences. xAI&#x2019;s Grok &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/8c55d7b0?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;caused outrage around the world&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; earlier this year when it began to generate an estimated 1.8 million sexualized images of people, including minors. To Grok, even children no longer had any right to their own identity; Elon Musk &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/e6804d1f?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;called it a &#x201C;free speech&#x201D; issue&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;And while Meta actually paid some celebrities to become part of its own chatbot product, actors like John Cena and Kristen Bell still found last year that their bots could be used in sexual roleplay scenarios, &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/11426c3f?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;including with minors&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Even when these systems have the permission of those involved, they can still behave in ways no one involved would want.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;Spotify&#x2019;s move to protect artists is the right one, even if it&#x2019;s arriving a bit overdue. The rest of us will need protections of our own. The good news is that at least 45 states have passed laws addressing deepfakes. Last year Congress managed to pass (and President Trump signed) the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which criminalizes the spread of sexualized deepfakes and forces platforms to remove them within 48 hours of being notified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;The bad news is that, as Spotify has been learning, the threats are proliferating. And while we may have found a way to stop the stream snatchers from colonizing the major platforms, the pods are still opening everywhere else. You can still maintain a grip on your digital identity.

I genuinely burst out laughing while listening to the court hearing, as the DoD&#x2019;s lawyer struggled to justify why Hegseth posted that given that Hegseth supposedly had no legal authority to make the command in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;This episode looks like another example of the Trump administration playing fast and loose with the law in order to intimidate its opposition.

Jurors are still deliberating over a separate trial in &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/strong&gt; over whether Meta and &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;YouTube&lt;/strong&gt; knew the design of their platforms inflicted harm on their younger users. &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;TikTok&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Snap&lt;/strong&gt; settled in that case rather than risking a trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Why we&#x2019;re following: &lt;/strong&gt;Social platforms have long been able to avoid liability in cases where users experience harms by citing &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Section 230&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Communications Decency Act&lt;/strong&gt;, which shields them from the consequences of what other users post. The New Mexico case represents an effort to target the design of the system rather than the individual posts. It&#x2019;s not any one &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Instagram Reel&lt;/strong&gt; that causes you to develop an eating disorder, this argument goes; it&#x2019;s that Meta&#x2019;s recommendation algorithms see that you enjoy watching them and serve you more of them (including via push notifications) until you do.&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;This was a relatively fringe legal theory until recently. The New Mexico verdict suggests it may be a winner &#x2014; which has huge implications for liability for other platforms that host user-generated content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6em; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;What people are saying: &#x201C;&lt;/strong&gt;We respectfully disagree with the verdict and will appeal,&#x201D; Meta spokesman &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Andy Stone&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/60e823b8?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;wrote&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;X&lt;/strong&gt;. &#x201C;We work hard to keep people safe on our platforms and are clear about the challenges of identifying and removing bad actors or harmful content.
