How Much Longer Can Spotify Back Joe Rogan?
Joe Rogan and Spotify came under fire again last week.
In response to the aftermath of an interview Rogan did with a doctor that spread falsehoods and misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, Spotify's CEO Daniel Ek wrote that he doesn't want to "take on the position of being content censor."
However, over the weekend, the company removed some 70 episodes where Rogan used racist language. Despite this, the company is standing its ground to keep its $100 million dollar contract with the comedian in tact.
Where does Spotify draw the line on content moderation? And how much longer can it claim to remain neutral?
