Neil Young has a big supporter in his Spotify boycott.
Earlier this week, the famed rocker wrote an open letter to the streamer, threatening to remove his music from the platform. He blamed Spotify for spreading false information about COVID-19 vaccines via Joe Rogan's podcast.
"They can have Rogan or Young. Not both," he wrote in the letter. Spotify has since removed the artist's music.
On Thursday, the "Heart of Gold" singer's boycott of the platform was praised by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization.
".@NeilYoungNYA, thanks for standing up against misinformation and inaccuracies around #COVID19 vaccination," Ghebreyesus wrote on Twitter. "Public and private sector, in particular #socialmedia platforms, media, individuals - we all have a role to play to end this pandemic and infodemic."
A spokesperson for Spotify told the Wall Street Journal that they had removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, in accordance with their detailed content policies.
"We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators," they said, later adding: "We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon."

Rogan has got to be appreciating all this free publicity. And Spotify cancellations will be dwarfed by new customers attracted by Rogan. And then there is Dr Malone and the "banned" podcast in question - that was as smart as slapping Warning labels on albums (which signaled "forbidden fruit" and led to increased sales).
Neil Young has a big supporter in his Spotify boycott.

A “big supporter”, so unmemorable, even after you read his name, you forget it.
I think at this point the WHO has less cred than the CDC if that’s even possible. So who cares?
I laughed out loud when I saw that headline.
So WHO admits they are a political organization, not anything to do with health or medicine.
That should be awesome for Neil’s 60’s fans to know he’s 100% in with “THE MAN’S” position.
“UP WITH THE MAN”.
Joe Rogan interviewed Dr. Robert Malone, an expert in vaccinations.
Dr. Robert Malone is more qualified to talk about vaccines that Neil Young, a washed-up old rocker.
Now that they admit the vax doesn’t stop the spread why do they demand people get it?
Never thought I’d live to see the hippies actually outed as the totalitarian communists we all knew they were…
Because it kinda reduces deaths… maybe… for now anyway because we’ve been successfully suppressing those studies…
Okay, let’s see all musicians stand up for Young and
pull the same stunt.
Spotify can dump Rogan and everyone will
be happy.
Rogan will be bigger than ever and for what? INSANITY.
His fans are going to start buying old The Who albums.
They never actually say what the incorrect information being spread is
and Big Media never asks
voila - a way to smear Joe Rogan without actually providing any evidence!!
The New Soviet Media 2022 is here!!

He may as well be backed by Pee Wee Herman.
The WHO has lost a lot of credibility. So who cares about WHO and what they have to say? 🙂
Miight have that backwards: Has-beens and no-names are using Joe Rogan for free publicity in a reach for relevancy and notoriety. Ain't gonna work.
The WHO is a ChiCom puppet organization. So in essence Neil Young just received the support of the ChiComs. Quite an endorsement you’ve got there, Neil.
How many daily listeners does the WHO dictator general have? 0? 3?
Daltry comes across as pretty conservative. He doesn’t like talking about politics, but certainly leans our way.
