Spotify Cracks Down on Joe Rogan; Removes 70+ Episodes

On Friday, Spotify silently removed over 70 episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast from its platform as the company continues to face pressure to censor and deplatform Rogan because of his open dialogue and discussions that have been falsely labeled as ‘misinformation’ by washed-up, triggered leftists like Neil Young. 

The revelation comes just one day after Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek expressed support for the popular comedian in a company town hall, defending the platform’s decision to work with Rogan and telling employees that it’s not the company’s job to censor or control the content of its creators. 

Ek explained: 

“I want to remind everyone of our mission. We want to get to 50 million creators and a billion users, and to be a true platform and achieve this ambition, it’s really critical that creators are able to use their voice independently. And it’s also critical that we have diverse voices on our platform. 

“We’re not in the business of dictating the discourse that these creators want to have on their shows.” 

Despite the CEO’s statements, fan-made website JREMissing spotted that dozens of episodes were pulled from the platform on Friday after using Spotify’s API to compare currently available episodes to a database of all JRE podcast episodes.
