I'm triple vaxxed, but (unless they're standing for hate or calling for violence) banning someone's podcast is too much like burning a book to me. Joe Rogan should talk on his podcast about whatever he damn well pleases.

Should he be paid 100 million dollars for it?

Advocating for folks to not vaccinate and then get horrifically sick and possibly die, sounds a lot like violence to me, honestly

This is not the same at ALL. Banning is when a government prohibits something. Not supporting a podcast by boycotts of sponsors is exercising ones rights. Government isn’t involved here.

Spreading COVID misinformation *is* violence. Pulling a dangerous podcast from a private platform is not the same a banning it. Do better, Marianne...

Marianne, how do you think "banning" a podcast would work? What does that look like?

thought you were intelligent enough to understand the legal definition of censorship and what a boycott is. Newsflash: they are different.

Given the massive size of Rogan's audience and the number of covid deaths, it is almost a statistical certainty that there is someone out there who was in some small part swayed by Rogan's covid disinfo who is dead now. Perhaps even a number of people. He is not owed a platform.

And people can respond however damn well they please. Marianne, you know this. It’s capitalism 101. He is free to do his podcast and people are free to boycott it. Wtf is this comment about, reallllly?

Even it includes having guests on who spread LIES about Covid vaccines, & as a result gullible people will not get vaccinated & possibly die?

What Rogan haters don't realize is removing him from Spotify would only amplify him 10 times more. A wise man once said: "If you strike me down now, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." And it couldn't be truer.
