Joe Rogan hosted far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his podcast today. They pushed anti-vaxx conspiracies and broadcasted banned Infowars videos. Rogan continuing to platform these far-right sickos is incredibly gross and dangerous. https://twitter.com/...

Spotify is now defending Alex Jones' appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. During the show, Jones spread anti-vaxx conspiracies and said masks don't protect people from Covid. Very irresponsible of @Spotify to air this misinformation during a pandemic. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ …

It appears that deplatforming is less effective when you simply....give a person who you deplatformed another platform https://twitter.com/...

I'm about to cancel Spotify. Rogan has spewed conspiracies, had Jones on and his cohort was wearing a “Free Ghislaine” shirt which is abhorrent in all ways. https://twitter.com/...

Holy shit. @Spotify is falling into the same extremism trap that every platform falls into. Start making exceptions for high-performing rule-breakers, and pretty soon your content moderation rules fall apart. https://twitter.com/...
