Neil Young to Spotify: Remove music over Rogan vaccine misinformation

Spotify is removing Neil Young’s music after he left the music streaming service with a stark choice: it’s me or Joe Rogan. Spotify chose Rogan. In a now-deleted letter on his website, the 76-year-old artist accused Spotify of spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines through its most popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. Young, who has a long history of political activism, accused Spotify of profiting from misinformation about COVID-19 and asked that they either remove his entire music catalog or Rogan’s podcast series.

Individuals no matter how wealthy or expert struggle to get their message across against corporate giants even if they are part of the elite and wealthy class. Media giants are there to maintain the illusion that a Capitalist Democracy is the best of all possible worlds. Just as media in a totalitarian State is. Simply put both are propaganda models with fringes tolerated in differing degrees.

The Joe Rogan Experience is the top-rated podcast on Spotify, which holds exclusive rights to the program.Rogan, 54, has stirred controversy with his views on the pandemic, government mandates and vaccines to control the spread of COVID-19.Earlier this month, 270 scientists and medical professionals signed a letter urging Spotify to take action against Rogan, accusing him of spreading falsehoods on the podcast.
