Lawsuit Against Spotify Claims ‘Billions’ of Drake Streams Were ‘Fraudulent’
A new class action lawsuit alleges that Drake’s music has received billions of fraudulent streams on Spotify, claiming the streaming platform turned a blind eye to bots, depriving fair pay to thousands of artists. The lawsuit accuses Spotify of ignoring fake streams that inflate artist stats, with Drake being one of the most boosted artists. The legal action argues that Spotify’s anti-fraud policies are inadequate and that the company benefits from fake streams by increasing ad revenue. The lawsuit seeks justice for artists who have suffered financial harm due to fraudulent streaming practices and aims to represent a class of artists affected by the alleged misconduct.
USDA files plan for providing partial SNAP payments for November; delays possible, USDA says
The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to use contingency funds to provide reduced Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits during the government shutdown. The administration aims to deplete the $5.2 billion in food-aid contingency funds to cover part of the $9 billion needed for November benefits. Two federal judges have ordered the government to use the contingency funds to ensure SNAP recipients receive partial payments. The shutdown, now in its 34th day, has left roughly 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP without funding for food aid. The USDA initially halted food aid payments, blaming congressional Democrats for the lack of funding.
