Spotify's move drew applause online from organisations including video-streaming platform Rumble, which credited the Swedish company with "defending creators" and standing "up for free speech".īut Young, 76, also garnered wide praise for taking a stand, including from the World Health Organization chief. 'Regret' - Spotify voiced "regret" over Young's move but cited a need to balance "both safety for listeners and freedom for creators". He also praised Spotify's decision to add a content advisory to coronavirus-related episodes of any podcast. Rather than spreading misinformation, Rogan insisted he was "interested in telling the truth, I'm interested in finding out what the truth is, and I'm interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions." I wanted to hear what their opinion is," Rogan said. "They have an opinion that's different from the mainstream narrative. He cited two episodes in particular, during which he interviewed a cardiologist, and a virologist who had worked on mRNA technology, the same method used to make several Covid-19 vaccines. In a video posted on his Instagram account, Rogan expressed disappointment that Young and Mitchell had pulled their music from Spotify, and sought to explain why his podcast had come under fire. "We look to Spotify to meet this moment and are committed to continuing our work together as it does." "We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis," a spokesperson for Archewell, the Duke and Duchess' organisation, said in a statement. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, meanwhile, said they were "committed to continuing" their lucrative content deal despite "concerns" over misinformation. $100 million deal - The podcaster, who has a $100 million (90 million euros) multi-year exclusive deal with Spotify, was kept on, and the company complied with Young's demand and started removing his catalogue of songs. Rogan, 54, has discouraged vaccination in young people and promoted the off-label use of the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin to treat the virus. The "new effort to combat misinformation" would roll out in the next few days, he added.
