Türkiye's competition authority has initiated an investigation into Spotify, focusing on allegations of anti-competitive practices related to licensing terms and artist visibility in the streaming market. The probe also stems from complaints about 'provocative' playlists on the platform that are considered offensive to the president's wife and disrespectful to Islam. A deputy minister has called for legal action against Spotify over these playlists. Turkish authorities cite concerns over competition distortion and violations of religious values as grounds for the investigation. The case highlights tensions between regulatory scrutiny of digital platforms and cultural sensitivities in Türkiye.
