AND HE DOESN'T LIKE WHAT HE SEES
Remember when the left said that private companies can do what they like regarding what speech they allow on their platforms?
Well, it looks like a two Canadian millionaire grandparents and the woke mob have bullied Spotify into silencing opinions they disagree with.
The snowballing situation surrounding Spotify and Joe Rogan was elevated on Sunday when the streaming behemoth unveiled sweeping new rules regarding "dangerous content" on the platform.
Spotify rolled out new restrictions on content that the platform deems as "dangerous," "deceptive," sensitive," and "illegal."
By Spotify's own terms, there would seemingly be no shortage of music artists who routinely violate their new rules on what they consider dangerous content.
Bit in just appears to be an attempt to rein in Rogan.
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek released a blog post on the new rules.
""Based on the feedback over the last several weeks, it’s become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time," Ek said as pressure mounted for Spotify to cancel Rogan.
Ek announced that Spotify will "add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19."
Earlier this month, an "open letter" allegedly co-signed by "270 doctors" was sent to Spotify in an effort to cancel Joe Rogan. However, it turned out the majority of those signatories were not legally allowed to practice medicine on their own.
