Not really caving. Trying to mollify the Karens without censoring.
Huh?
“...it is important to me that we don’t take on the position of being content censor...”
In other words - Eat it, Neil Young. Eat it, Dave Grohl, etc.
So, will Spotify support or oppose the Hitlerite?
Paging Bongino etc, a new platform will take all the Intellectual Dark Web thinkers, and will charge $14.95 or whatever, or should I say paging Elon Musk. Somebody is going to make a bundle....
Spotify, you just screwed the pooch....
It sounds to me like they’re symbolically kissing the government backside but at the same time saying they’re going to keep on with what they’re doing but create an “approved” location for covid stuff.
Anybody who thought this was medical and not political should now have to admit that it was political all along.
They can’t retroactively apply restrictions on Rogan - he signed a contract. Unless Rogan’s lawyers are fools, he will either be able to continue his podcast as-is, or walk away with Spotify’s money and find new platforms to host his podcast.
COVID INFO Hub: BBC, CNN, POLITICAL, ABC, BLOOMBERG.
So are any of the following available for open discussion or are your politicheskiy rukovoditel gonna gig any of the following?
* Is discussion of Ivermection or HCQ misinformation?
* How about the now pulled EUA for MCA's?
* How about the IV drips Rogan took, The Banana Bag, NAD, and Glutamine, is that voodoo too?
* And all the papers and data coming out about the side effects?
* You going to Gig Rogan if he goes there?
* I wouldn't **ck with him, Bongino etc, your really giving them a reason to create their own platform, and you only stand to loose revenue....
Joanie Mitchell and Liza Minelli were the last straw.
kowtowing........
“Covid Misinformation” is telling someone in 2022, that just recovered from Covid to “get Vaccinated”.
Anyone who says this should go to directly to jail.
A very deep pocketed group will buy up Spotify, and make them Communist vanilla once more.
I remember in early 2020 where Covid threads on FR were pulled.
Censorship about this stuff is everywhere.
This is, and was never about Covid. This was about the crybullies who tried to get Rogan cancelled the first time not getting their way. They will use each and every controversy as another attempt to build a campaign against people who don’t agree with their twisted worldview, whatever it may be.
Think about the “Shock Jocks” of the 1980s and 1990s. Stern, Imus, Opie and Anthony. They got attention by being outrageous and saying things and pulling stunts that bordered on crude and offensive. The real brilliance wasn’t in making sex noises for three hours a day, though I’m sure there was a big element of their audience who loved that stuff, the brilliance was taking an idea that went against their corporate overlords and sticking it to them. Stern listeners calling into newscasts when the TV stations were running exploitive “breaking news” events of carjackings and yelling “baba booey” over the air wasn’t just childish dumbness... although it was. It was also a sign that the news stations that were exploiting events for cheap ratings thrills weren’t vetting their sources, and they hated anyone who let the general public in on the ruse.
At this moment I have the Spotify premium subscription page open. I was going to sign up for it in support of their apparently wide-open free speech policy.
This doublespeak I don’t understand. It doesn’t sound like a robust defense of what I felt like supporting, though.
Spotify has to. When the .gov of China and the USA start putting pressure on you, you cave.
Question is what will Rogan do?
It’s nothing but a simple disclaimer for the libtard Karens 🤪
Free speech will still continue
Trying to appease the Boomer Hippie Hypochondriacs.
