Platform Policies in the music industry refer to the comprehensive set of rules, guidelines, and content moderation standards that digital streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music implement to govern what content can be distributed on their platforms. These policies cover areas including explicit content labeling, copyright infringement, hate speech, misinformation, and community standards. They determine how artists can upload music, what content gets removed or restricted, and how violations are handled. Platform policies significantly impact artist revenue, content discoverability, and the overall music ecosystem by shaping what music reaches listeners and under what conditions.
