My Question or Issue

There is a podcast on Spotify that is pretending to originate from a not-for-profit distributor of free audiobooks and is deceptively requesting donations via a URL that looks like the not-for-profit organisation's URL, but actually is not. When I attempt to report this issue as described here (https://community.spotify.com/t5/FAQs/Report-content-on-Spotify/ta-p/4792982) the report form autopopulates with a Spotify URL that generates an error message indicating that the URL is invalid. How can I report this podcast for broaching Spotify's guidelines re deception?

Hey there @peterjdann,

 

Thank you for taking the time to post this thread in the Community.

 

Could you try to make the report directly through this link: https://support.spotify.com/content-policy-reporting/ and not via the app? 

 

You can post the URL directly and let us know if you see the same error message.

 

Have a good one!
