Will Spotify Dump Rogan?

I don't think so, but Rogan responds. https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-r...GFqDr1MwQ9sq8k

Not a chance.

Can't see it happening myself.

I know nothing about this 'Rogan' cult and frankly, i do not care.
I know a bit about Neil Young though.

As a person who love free speech I do not like when some are restricted in what they are allowed to say.

Let them speak freely - Let it be up to the listerne to believe or reject what has been said to the audience.

There are practical limitations to 'free speech' in a society that looks out for the well-being of its populace. Undermining medical expertise during a pandemic is a behavior that that undermines a culture of safety and wrongly (maybe even criminally) so.

I agree 100%. I was reading an article earlier which bemoaned Spotify's decision, saying something to the effect of potential damage caused by misinformation. I get that ... really, I do. But when faced with the alternative: potentially setting a precedent which could damage our right to free speech, I think Spotify's choice was the correct one.

Having written that, I also feel that a privately owned company should be allowed to make its own choices without outside interference when it comes to how they run their business. (Illegal activity excluded, of course.) Let's be real: we're talking about a music service, not global political policy.

It saddens me to see here in these forums the now common practice of taking everything to extremes. I mean ... comparing someone's skepticism of the 'official' narrative concerning this virus to holocaust deniers? REALLY?! Apparently Godwin's Law must be a fact.

OTOH, I am heartened to see an equal amount of posts from a different point of view. I especially like the comments from u crank and Buddahaid concerning coexistence and Neil's own right to free speech.

Cheers, friends!

If you don't know anything about Joe Rogan why would you refer to it as a cult?

I use to be a big Neil Young fan and proud that he is a Canadian. Not any more. His childish behavior here is as illiberal as it gets. Don't like other peoples opinions ... get them deplatformed. What a jerk.

Some people's 'opinions' get other people dead but they don't care. That's a much worse flavor of childish. Responsibility. Some people can't do it.

@ucrank as you might know Neil has protested against some music company before.
Just his opinion, he continues his life-long political action he is known for. I would not even call it political, it is right or wrong for him. He was and is not always right, but more believable than a lot of others.
He just says he does not want to support a company that does deals with Rogan, so he's out of Spotify, that's it.

re Rogan, i still have no idea, but browsing a bit i think he's engaged in the sublime art of self portrayal with his show. Since he was seen with some anti vaxxers the right instinctively loves him.
