Spotify, Joe Rogan address Covid-19 content backlash

In a blog post yesterday, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek addressed mounting controversy over health misinformation. After Spotify pulled Neil Young and Joni Mitchell’s music over protest of the company’s deal with podcast monolith Joe Rogan, the executive conceded that the company hasn’t “been transparent around the policies that guide our content more broadly.”
Ek added that Spotify is working to add content advisories to podcast episodes that feature discussions about Covid-19, specifically. That advisory redirects to a “Covid-19 Hub,” featuring news episodes from outlets like the BBC, ABC and CNN, as well as interviews with Anthony Fauci and other medical professionals.
