Spotify removes fake podcast pages promoting online prescription drug sales: Report

Spotify has begun removing numerous fake podcast pages that promoted the illegal sale of prescription drugs, including Adderall and Oxycodone, after a news outlet's investigation flagged the content.
The podcasts, masquerading as legitimate health or comedy shows, as per CNN investigative report, directed users to questionable online pharmacies — many of which claimed to sell highly addictive medications without requiring a prescription, a violation of US law.
The news outlet reported that a search for 'Adderall' on Spotify turned up podcasts titled 'My Adderall Store' and others with similarly explicit names. These pages often included links to websites that purportedly offered Adderall, Vicodin, Methadone, Ambien, and more — often with no prescription needed.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov on why he fathered over 100 kids: ‘They are all…'

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of instant messaging app Telegram, said he will leave his estimated $13.9 billion fortune for more than 100 children he has fathered. File photo of Pavel Durov(AFP) In an interview with French political magazine Le Point, the 40-year-old revealed that he is the 'official father' of six children with three different partners, while the scores of others came through sperm donation. The Russia-born tech tycoon, who recently wrote his will, said he does not differentiate between his legal children and those who were conceived with the sperm he donated. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death,' CNN quoted Durov as saying. The businessman stated that he 'started donating sperm 15 years ago' at a clinic to help his friend. Later on, he was informed that 'more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries.' This isn't the first time Durov has addressed this matter. Last year, he shared on Telegram that a doctor told him that it was his 'civic duty' to donate his 'high quality donor material'. However, Durov told the magazine that none of his children will be granted access to their inheritance for 30 years. Why so? Durov, currently in Dubai, wants them to live like 'normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account.' Asked why he wrote his will at the age of 40, Durov said his job involves risk as defending freedoms earns you many enemies, including within powerful states. Durov asserted that he wants to protect his children as well as Telegram, which looks forward to remaining 'faithful to the values I defend.' He even spoke about the criminal charges he faces in France, where he was arrested last year on charges relating to a host of crimes. These included allegations that Telegram was complicit in aiding drug traffickers as well as people spreading child pornography, according to CNN. Durov has called these charges 'absurd.' FAQs: 1. What is Pavel Durov's net worth? According to Bloomberg, he has an estimated net worth of $13.9 billion. 2. Where is Pavel Durov now? Durov is currently in Dubai, where his company is based. He holds dual citizenship of France and the UAE. 3. When was Telegram launched? Durov founded Telegram in 2013. The social media app remains highly popular in Russia.

In Bizarre Scene, Man Takes Mercedes Down Iconic Spanish Steps And Gets Stuck

Last Updated: The vehicle descended partway down the steps before coming to a complete stop. An 80-year-old man unintentionally drove his compact Mercedes-Benz A-Class sedan down the famous Spanish Steps in Rome early Tuesday morning, June 12. This led to an unexpected rescue operation involving police, firefighters and a crane. The incident has sparked widespread attention both locally and online. According to a CNN report, the incident occurred around 4 AM, when the man, navigating through central Rome, mistakenly turned onto the historic staircase. The vehicle descended partway down the steps before coming to a complete stop, wedged and unable to move further. According to a statement released by city police, the man was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident. Officers patrolling the area stopped him and took him to a hospital as a precaution. Medical tests confirmed he had not consumed any substances, and he was found to be uninjured. The man told officers that he had been 'going to work" when the confusion happened. It is still unclear whether he was relying on a GPS for directions or driving based on memory. Video footage of the moment is now doing the rounds on the Internet. It shows the grey sedan descending the staircase before getting stuck between the steps. Later in the video, a crane can be seen lifting the car off the steps. An 80-year-old man got his Mercedes-Benz car stuck while driving down the Spanish Steps in Rome in the early hours of June driver tested negative for alcohol but was in a state of confusion. #Roman #ITALIANO #Driver #MercedesBenz — HKeye (@HKeye_) June 19, 2025 The area was quickly cordoned off, and public access to the Spanish Steps has been temporarily restricted. Authorities noted that in cases involving protected heritage sites, archaeologists are called in to assess potential damage. While a visual inspection revealed damage to the vehicle, officials have yet to confirm whether the staircase itself sustained any harm. The Spanish Steps, or Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, are among Rome's most iconic landmarks. Built in the 1720s, the grand staircase connects the Trinità dei Monti church at the top to the Piazza di Spagna below. Designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi, the staircase features 135 travertine stone steps. This isn't the first time the historic site has faced such an unusual incident. In 2022, a 37-year-old man from Saudi Arabia drove a Maserati down the same staircase, causing physical damage to the monument. In that case, the driver fled the scene immediately but was later tracked down using surveillance footage and rental car records. He was eventually arrested at Milan's Malpensa airport and was charged with aggravated damage to cultural heritage and monuments.

'No bra, no exam': Nigerian university defends viral video of women being checked, says this will ensure 'distraction-free environment'

A Nigerian university came under fire for checking whether female students were wearing bras. A Nigerian university has come under immense criticism after a video of a female staff member checking whether a female student was wearing a bra before allowing her into the examination hall went viral. Olabisi Onabanjo University in Ogun State defended the policy of allowing no female student without a bra in the examination hall and said it is part of the institution's dress code aimed to promote modesty and maintain a "distraction-free environment". President of the students' union, Muizz Olatunji, however, has acknowledged that there is a need for an alternative method to enforce this dress code. Olatunji posted in X that checking the bra is not a new policy. Olatunji shared parts of what he said were the school's policies, which described indecent dressing as that which shows sensitive body parts 'such as breasts, buttocks, nipples and belly-buttons,' including 'any dressing that is capable of making the same or opposite sex to lust after the student in an indecent manner. ' After the video went viral, students of the university confirmed that it was shot at their school. Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong described the OOU's bra policy as 'draconian' and 'arbitrary,' and one that 'might amount to some form of sexual harassment.' He told CNN that 'physically examining the bodies of students to determine whether they are wearing a bra or not is not only degrading but also undignifying.' 'There could be medical explanations for why certain students may not feel comfortable wearing a bra at a particular time,' he said, adding that enforcing the policy 'without exceptions, or without taking peculiarities into consideration is arbitrary,' and could lead to legal actions.
