Summary
A class-action lawsuit against Spotify led by rapper RBX, which accused the streaming platform of ignoring bot-farming that artificially inflates streaming numbers, has been dismissed by a California federal judge. Judge Josephine Stanton ruled that RBX failed to plausibly allege that the harm he suffered outweighs Spotify's justifications for its policies on artificial streaming. The suit focused heavily on artist Drake and claimed Spotify was negligent in protecting artists from streaming fraud.
