Spotify removes Joe Rogan episodes they deem people shouldn't hear. Is he inciting violence? No. At worst, he mentions his drug use and promotes recreational drug use and for that I'd mark an episode as "Adult content". Medical opinions are just that, opinions. Hosting differing view points on a talk show is what talk shows are about; you prevent that and you get one-sided editorial only. The service Spotify acting without justification to remove content they merely disagree with highlights the weakness of all communications of Web 2.0 social media. Furthermore bowing to pressure from far left groups like BLM, it shows Spotify and its leadership does not have a backbone. As far as free speech, Spotify goes backwards, falling in line with the rest of the censors, including Youtube, Twitter and Facebook. The need for uncensorable social media via blockchain tech is further reinforced. Narratives can only be held in place so long as censorship gags everyone's right to speak their mind. #censorship #freespeech #rights #spotify #joerogan #cryptotech
