Spotify has lost over 15% of its stock value since deciding to keep Joe Rogan on their platform.

Ooops , picked the wrong horse. :)

Well done! I know what a sensitive sort you are, so I don't want you getting the vapours reading the truth.
 
customers flooding their phone lines to complain, customers leaving, and Joni Mitchell joins Young. Will others? who knows, but I'd be more than suprised if some other big names didn't.

“Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” Mitchell said Friday in a message posted on her website. “I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”
In a message on his website Friday, Young said that “when I left Spotify, I felt better.”

“Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information,” he wrote. “I am happy and proud to stand in solidarity with the front line health care workers who risk their lives every day to help others.”

Right... It couldn't be people voting with their wallet, or anything capitalist like that! Tell us about the right wing parents berating schools about offensive books... You got nothing...

I've got two superannuated rockers demanding the most popular podcaster in the country be silenced. I have the US Surgeon General demanding the same, along with administration figures and Democrat legislator badgering social media for more censorship. I have entire organization of leftists that exist to get people and shows taken out of the public square.

What else do you need?

Acknowledgement that this behavior is not exclusive to "leftists"...
 
yeah, removing maus is unjustifiable. that is great book. the only reason you could find it offensive is if your anti-semite piece of shit and a holocaust denying nazi cunt.
 
crt bud deliberately misstates the situation, as per usual:

neither of those artistes demanded spotify remove rogan'... Young said 'choose', and they did. He was unprepared to stay on the same platform hosting a man responsible for spreading dangerous misinformation, so withdrew his material. Simple. Joni Mitchell is withdrawing her own because of their choice. NO ONE said spotify had to fire rogan. ANd spotify will reap the wind... only time will tell as to whether or not they lose enough customers and contributors for it to hurt or whether they'll sail blithely on with additional viewership from those seeking validation for their own fucked upness. I expect they'll weather the storm, but their customer-base will shift more extremely to the right and they will deserve the reputation that earns them, much like oan and newsmaxx.

Saying "all" or "none" when talking about human behavior is almost always in error, however it's accurate to say the calls for censorship are predominantly coming from the Left. Certainly censorship of what adults are allowed to say and hear.

Nothing in your post refutes a word of what I wrote.

I agree. That one should stay, definitely.

Proof that they don't have a good reason. Rogan's anti-vaxx messaging is dangerous.

Well, I can understand how some people would see it as not suitable for children.

But it does have a legitimate place in high school. Even in middle school, my class read The Diary of Anne Frank (that is, a play based on it). Of course, in that story, all the violence happens offstage, as it were.
