Covid: Misinformation battle on Spotify
Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, many popular digital content platforms have adopted 鈥渕isinformation鈥 policies to limit users from sharing inaccurate or misleading information. So how about the Swedish platform Spotify?
Singer-songwriter Neil Young has asked the Sweden-based streaming platform to withdraw his work for keeping podcasts such as the Joe Rogan Experience which he says is a harm to public health. J Clara Chan from the Hollywood Reporter told Newsday why Neil Young took the action:
鈥淲ell, two words: Joe Rogan. He鈥檚 not happy with the covid misinformation that was spreading on Joe Rogan鈥檚 podcast.鈥
鈥淭his isn鈥檛 the first time someone has pulled their music. But this is the first time Spotify has responded. 鈥
