The ganging up on Joe Rogan music boycott has led Spotify to do some caving.

It's “misinformation” because the government says it is “misinformation, and big tech is more than happy to censor the information that government labels “misinformation.”

Seriously doubtful this abuse will stop with covid.

Someday when the “facts” are known, a lot of people will known as real jerks. Especially the pathetic media.

Spotify will fight misinformation by flagging podcasts discussing govt. overreach / the suppression of our civil liberties in response to imagined COVID, Global Warming, White "Rage," Abortion "Rights," Lack of "Equity," etc.

There is only one opinion
We won’t allow any others
The government agencies are always right
And their only goal is to help you.
That’s why they don’t accept any money. They’re just like nuns.
So you can trust them. They clearly have no self interest.

Putin may hit us with everything he’s got and not inflict more damage on us than we have done to ourselves.

Strikes me as being similar to putting warning messages on a pack of cigarettes. After the novelty wears off, people don’t even notice them. But the do-gooders feel like they accomplished something.

Yep, You are right. I see ads every day- tech is hiring hundreds- ‘if you’re offended apply here’ as censors. That’s essentially the qualification! - you will be paid to censor anything and everything you find ‘offensive’.

That's the point ... to bury Rogan's platform so he may no longer be heard.

They are going to be sorry as the covid BS is coming to an end and fauci is being exposed as the great mass murderer. Many states are starting to allow many preventative meds to be open for use. Maybe they will tar and feather fauci and put him on an island somewhere where he will have access to all his money but no one and no stores. Go eat coconuts you total creep.

Note to the idiots running Spotify: Great timing, you cucks...
