Spotify CEO Reportedly Tells Employees That Platform Does Not Have Editorial Discretion Over 'The Joe Rogan Experience'

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek reportedly told employees on Wednesday that the platform does not have editorial discretion over Joe Rogan’s #1-rated podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” following an attempt from leftists to get Rogan booted off the platform.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Ek told employees that the company does not approve Rogan’s guest list and that they only take action against episodes after the fact. The article noted that critics claim that Rogan has spread coronavirus misinformation, although it failed to give any specific examples.

The article was primarily based off sources who appeared eager to cast the company in a negative light and further put pressure on it to take action against Rogan.
