Neil Young’s music to go off Spotify after singer called out Joe Rogan
Spotify confirmed on Wednesday, local time, that it has begun removing Young’s music from the streaming service, two days after the star briefly posted a public letter calling on Spotify to choose between him and Joe Rogan, the star podcast host who has been accused of spreading disinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines.Young’s challenge to Spotify has become a high-profile, if unexpected, flashpoint in the battle over misinformation and free speech online.
In a second statement that was posted to his website on Wednesday, Young called Spotify “the home of life-threatening COVID misinformation.” He added: “Lies being sold for money.” His criticism of Rogan – a comedian and actor who has become Spotify’s most popular podcast host, sometimes speaking at great length with controversial figures – came after a group of hundreds of scientists, professors and public health experts asked Spotify to take down an episode of Rogan’s show from December 31.
