And when these formats falsely claim to present "both sides", as if the 2 sides should be equal, that's irresponsible. They're not. And a podcaster is not typically an actual research professional. I would really appreciate a thoughtful response from Spotify (or any other new media app for that matter!) on why we shouldn't expect them to take responsibility for content that THEY make more popular through additional investments and algorithmic preferences. Their profit model implies liability.Ī song is not a podcast. They have an opportunity to be strong in the face of all these debates, to clearly state in a code of conduct what is protected speech on their platform and what is not (spouting lies and misinformation on an app without consequence is not anyone's right). I've loved the service for a decade, despite knowing artists themselves have a love/hate relationship, but their apathy in the face of dangerous claims and misinformation is totally in their control to change. Rogan 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… and spread a number of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,” the authors of the open letter said.I'm having a hard time defending Spotfiy here and my continued subscription. The letter was republished in full on the 78-year-old singer’s website, and in it the writers outlined a number of concerns about Rogan’s podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which is currently the most popular podcast in the US and UK on Spotify.ĬNN has contacted Spotify and Mitchell’s record company Rhino for comment, but has yet to receive responses. Mitchell, known for her songs “Big Yellow Taxi” and “A Case of You,” also cited an open letter to Spotify published earlier this month by a coalition of scientists and medical professionals requesting the implementation of an anti-misinformation policy.
