Spotify has removed an Andrew Tate podcast after complaints from staff and users.

The “degree course” by the misogynist influencer titled “pimping hoes” was deemed to be in breach of the company’s rules and removed.

Spotify declined to comment. However, it is understood several podcasts have been removed from the service this week, including the “pimping hoes” course.

Content targeting an individual or group for harassment or abuse is also barred. Tate content remains available on Spotify including a “PhD course” on “how to get girls fast and easy”.

Hey! Spotify is finally growing a spine.

False. It was a test case. This is not a case of growing a spine, it's a case of "do you want my Weiner?" The consensus was no, so they put the Weiner away. That does not make it less shitty to begin with.

Now they just need to take down Moe Rogaine's podcast.
