I may not agree with everything or his guests say, but they’re entitled to have the forum to say it. Below, check out who’s on Rogan’s side, and who’d rather keep rockin’ in a world free of Spotify.ĭavid I applaud you and for making the RIGHT call, preserving #FreeSpeech and not capitulating to the mob. All rights reserved.Here’s a roundup of some responses from both camps in the Spotify-versus-Young controversy. The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2022 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
Young and Mitchell together have almost 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with Young having over 6 million, while Mitchell has 3.7 million listeners. Apple Music also tweeted Thursday that it was now “ the home of Neil Young.” Spotify later agreed to remove Young’s music from their platform, and the hashtag #DeleteSpotify went viral amid criticism of Rogan’s podcast. They also said at least two recent guests had “compared pandemic policies to the Holocaust” and said misinformation was “a sociological issue of devastating proportions and Spotify is responsible for allowing this activity to thrive on its platform.” Rogan has “discouraged vaccination in young people and children, incorrectly claimed that mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” promoted off-label use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19… and spread a number of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,” the authors of the open letter said.
The letter was republished in full on the 78-year-old singer’s website, and in it the writers outlined a number of concerns about Rogan’s podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which is currently the most popular podcast in the US and UK on Spotify.ĬNN has contacted Spotify and Mitchell’s record company Rhino for comment, but has yet to receive responses. Mitchell, known for her songs “Big Yellow Taxi” and “A Case of You,” also cited an open letter to Spotify published earlier this month by a coalition of scientists and medical professionals requesting the implementation of an anti-misinformation policy.
