Spotify mum after Joe Rogan critics calls for change to prevent COVID ‘misinformation’ on platform
https://www.foxnews.com/media/rogan-spotify-covid

Spotify has not publicly addressed calls for change after liberal media outlets and a group of medical professionals urged the streaming platform to take action against what they call COVID-related "misinformation" sparked by podcasting giant Joe Rogan.

Last week, a group of advocates, professors, scientists and medical professionals signed an open letter that asked Spotify to "take action against mass-misinformation events" on its platform after the "Joe Rogan Experience" (JRE) podcast irked the group with a "highly controversial episode" interview with Dr. Robert Malone.

The open letter blasted Rogan for pushing "misleading and false claims on his podcast, provoking distrust in science and medicine" during the ongoing COVID pandemic and noted that Dr. Malone has been suspended from Twitter for spreading misinformation about COVID.

The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) uploaded a highly controversial episode featuring guest Dr. Robert Malone (#1757). The episode has been criticized for promoting baseless conspiracy theories and the JRE has a concerning history of broadcasting misinformation, particularly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Joe Rogan has repeatedly spread misleading and false claims on his podcast, provoking distrust in science and medicine. He has discouraged vaccination in young people and children, incorrectly claimed that mRNA vaccines are “gene therapy,” promoted off-label use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 (contrary to FDA warnings), and spread a number of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. In episode #1757, Rogan hosted Dr. Robert Malone, who was suspended from Twitter for spreading misinformation about COVID-19. Dr. Malone used the JRE platform to further promote numerous baseless claims, including several falsehoods about COVID-19 vaccines and an unfounded theory that societal leaders have “hypnotized” the public. Many of these statements have already been discredited. Notably, Dr. Malone is one of two recent JRE guests who has compared pandemic policies to the Holocaust. These actions are not only objectionable and offensive, but also medically and culturally dangerous.

people don't like listening to experts where there is much more exciting fiction out there, that sounds so much cooler. we're so fucking dumb, we all deserve to die off.

[–] Satan2016 (26217) 3 years ago

What "experts"? Over 1300 have signed, but the vast majority are nurses and students.
OTOH, Dr. Robert Malone is an virologist and immunologist. Very few of those on the list!

Why does anyone even bother using doctors, hospitals, or prescriptions anymore? Just Google. :)

[–] maximmm (3412) 3 years ago

trolling much, are we?

[–] 123Guy (7841) 3 years ago

seems a fitting question, doesn't it?

why do anti-vaxxers bother going to the hospital?
after all, they don't trust those money thieving liars, right?
there's really no point in utilizing that broken system: fake, lying, know nothing doctors and "experts" all on the take, hospitals which must be ineffective lies also, and those drug companies keeping your heart pressure low and other meds... all designed to keep you addicted to them, paying them money.
am I wrong?

isn't this the current thinking?
because using doctors and hospitals would be self hypocritical

[–] maximmm (3412) 3 years ago

You are wrong, I'm afraid.
Just because you don't trust one doctor, doesn't mean you don't trust all doctors. Just because you don't trust one 'vaccine', doesn't mean you don't trust all vaccines. ETC.

Be wise, be smart, research.
At the end of the day, you'll find that even that most 'antivaxxers' right now are talking about freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of choice. All of the provaxxers appear to be the very opposite.

The real question is why do hospital accept any covid patient that has been fully vaccinated? Remember the "experts" claim if you get the vaccine you wont die. So why waste the medical resources on the fully vaccinated let them go home and take an aspirin.

[–] Gd5150 (11966) 3 years ago

Rogan has the audacity to have uncensored discussions on real world information from doctors and scientists with front line experience as they try to formulate hypothesis to unanswered questions.

How dare they perform real science.

[–] CraigC (8842) 3 years ago

The liars mobilize to defend the lies. Who gets to decide what is and isn't misinformation? Sorry dummies, we are being manipulated.

[–] TheArgentinian (7254) 3 years ago

Funny how you question these experts credentials while you listen to some wacko on a podcast or YouTube

[–] TimMC (9143) 3 years ago

I watched the video. That doctor/guest was no wacko.

The freaks complaining about him, ARE.

[–] Satan2016 (26217) 3 years ago

Google Dr. Robert Malone, moron!

[–] Burk48917 (11536) 3 years ago

So what you're saying is that millions of experts are fine with his program? I agree, an open opinion show like his is great to exist, and from the lack of experts supporting removing his show, it appears most intelligent people agree with me.

[–] TimMC (9143) 3 years ago

Have they shown proof of where his doctor/guest was wrong?

PROOF..

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21722) 3 years ago

So what if he has a guest who IS wrong about whatever? It’s not a news show. People should trust in their doctors, not some blurb they heard off a pod cast.
