Spotify will suspend political ads in 2020
Spotify announced Friday that it will suspend political ads in early 2020 for its nearly 130 million ad-supported listeners, Ad Age reports.
The streaming giant, which said it lacks the resources "to responsibly validate and review
"such content, is the latest tech company faced with attempting to figure out how to best handle misinformation and political ads.
Twitter announced in October that it would ban all political ads globally, while Facebook said it does not plan to fact check political ads.

What it means: Spotify's decision will only impact U.S. users since it does not run political ads globally.
The policy will extend to the platform's original podcasts as well.
