S1 EP 92: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek Responds to Joe Rogan podcast backlash.

Spotify has coward down to pressure from critics about supporting the spread of COVID and vaccine misinformation with a plan to add warning labels on its global platform to content that they say crosses the line between "What is acceptable and what is not", as CEO Daniel Ek stated Sunday. David Ek’s lengthy statement outlining Spotify’s official content policies comes in response to a bunch of criticism and calls for boycotts of the streaming service that has seen irrelevant artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell demand their music be removed from the platform, accusing the company of assisting in spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccinations. I truly believe Spotify got it wrong here and believe they are wrong for changing things and apologizing. I don't believe you can apologize to the new "wokeness" and this "cancel culture" in my eyes is more a threat then Joe Rogan will ever be. I mean, what happened to if you don't like something don't listen to it or watch it? I'm also 100% convinced most ALL Joe Rogan's critics have never really watched any of his podcasts because had they listened to him they will see Joe Rogan basically listens to his guests more than anything and asks questions. I'm 100% positive Mr. Neil Young and Miss. Joni Mitchell hasn't even heard a Joe Rogan podcast so why do we care what they think? --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support</a>
