White House Recommends Spotify Do More to Censor Joe Rogan

Charlie Spiering 1 Feb 2022

The White House indicated Tuesday that Spotify’s attempts to address what they described as coronavirus “misinformation” on podcaster Joe Rogan’s interviews was not a strong enough response to the freedom of speech controversy.

Spotify announced a decision Sunday to include content advisory warnings on Rogan’s interviews about the coronavirus pandemic with sources dissenting from the government narrative about the virus.

“It’s a positive step but more can be done,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing on Tuesday.

Spotify acted to address the situation after musicians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell asked the company to remove their music from their platform as part of a protest of Rogan’s interviews.

But Psaki called on technology and media platforms to do more to censor what she described as “misinformation” about the virus.

“That certinaly includes Spotifly (sic) she said, mispronouncing the tech platform’s name

Censorship orders coming from the WH....

This is LITERALLY fascist.

If Spotify does this, they officially cease being a 'private business'. They will transition into being an 'agent of the State'. They will become just another government bureaucracy in, The Federal Department of Censorship, joining with Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, MSN, and all the alphabet channels which have already done so.

The definition of "Misinformation" has nothing to do with actual 'truth'. Misinformation is any opinion which disagrees with the official State propaganda, as dictated by the globalists in power worldwide.

The Whitehouse is violating the 1st amendment. How can they be prosecuted for civil rights violations? Can they be sued?

Blatant, put in the open violations of the First Amendment pushed by the very people elected to defend it.

Jen Psaki Threatens Joe Rogan Over His Covid Views, Attacks Americans’ First Amendment Rights

by Kyle Becker

The White House has been escalating its assault on Americans’ First Amendment right to free speech by ratcheting up the pressure on Big Tech platforms to suppress and censor its policy critics.


On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki issued a veiled threat to digital platforms to do more to call out “misinformation” and to uplift “accurate” information.

“Spotify is putting out advisory warnings on episodes that have to do with Covid-19,” a reporter asked Psaki. “Does the White House and the administration think this is a satisfactory step, or do you think that companies like Spotify should go further than, you know, just a label on their say, hey go to your own — you know check this out. You know, there is more research you can look at, you know science research.”

“Sure.,” she said. “Well, last July, as you probably know, but the surgeon general also took the unprecedented step to issue an adviser on the risk of misinformation and public health, which is a very significant step and admitted that he talked about the role social media platforms have.”

Rogan needs to sue just as a matter of principle.

[Kamaji]

Prior restraint.  Flatly unconstitutional, and Rogan should be able to get an injunction against Spotify preventing it from complying in any respect with the government's stated desires.

The Whitehouse needs to be censored for lying about china plague vaccines. There is no china plague vaccine that works and is not dangerous therefore there is no vaccine.

I hope Rogan has learned his lesson, and will no longer support authoritarians on the left.
