[Community][Podcasts] Cancel and delete Joe Rogan for spreading disinformation.

Joe Rogan spreads disinformation, ie., lies, about Covid. Spotify chose to maintain his account and let Neil Young remove his music. Free speech does not require maintenance of lying. You cannot legally yell "Fire" in a movie theater. Platforms have the responsibility to remove falsehoods when they are informed about the falsehoods. Spotify has chosen wrongly to allow Rogan to remain and Young to leave.

Spotify should reverse its action today!

Agreed! As a scientist and on a personal level I refuse to financially support an organization that willingly enables the spread of disinformation in the midst of a pandemic. I have canceled my premium subscription and will be seeking out an alternate music streaming app. I am saddened by thier choice to prioritize profits over public health.
