Yesterday’s Paul Gauguin
• “This is what I would say
about pedophilia or
abuses in his sexual
relationships: I think in
practice it is abominable
[…] I think what I admire
Gauguin for […] is when
he put these odd and
unpredictable twists of
sexuality into his art that
actually ended up
enhancing it.”– Salon Source: The MET Museum
Today’s Kevin Spacey

• “Spacey had made

an unwanted sexual
advance on Rapp at
a party when the
younger actor was
only 14.” – The Verge

Wise Words from Spotify

“That’s not what Spotify is about. We don’t aim to play

judge and jury. We aim to connect artists and fans –
and Spotify playlists are a big part of how we do that.
Our playlist editors are deeply rooted in their
respective cultures, and their decisions focus on what
music will positively resonate with their listeners. That
can vary greatly from culture to culture, and playlist to
playlist. Across all genres, our role is not to regulate
artists. Therefore, we are moving
Spotify away July
Policy Update, from
implementing a policy around artist conduct.”
