Amid Rogan Controversy, Spotify Will Now Be 'Adding a Content Advisory to Any Podcast Episode That Includes Discussion about COVID-19'

Spotify announced on Sunday it will add “content advisory” over coronavirus misinformation in the face of protests against podcaster Joe Rogan.

In a statement on Sunday, Spotify CEO and co-founder Daniel Ek said that the company will do more to “provide balance and access to widely-accepted information” for the coronavirus. Sources confirmed to CNN that the company will now be “adding a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes discussion about Covid-19” by directing listeners to a “hub that will include links to trusted sources.”

“These are rules of the road to guide all of our creators — from those we work with exclusively to those whose work is shared across multiple platforms,” Ek said in a statement.
