Joe Rogan (petition)

Tell Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek: Stop the Spread of Disinformation and Remove "The Joe Rogan Experience" [Sign the petition: Remove racist and conspiracy theorist Joe Rogan's podcast from Spotify now!]( Dear MoveOn member, Spotify has an incredible number of podcasts, albums, and news sources available on its platform. But Spotify has an issue with disinformation and extremism. The streaming service's No. 1 podcaster –– with his own, exclusive $100 million deal –– is none other than the racist, transphobic, conspiracy theorist Joe Rogan. Last week, singer Neil Young penned an open letter to Spotify saying he would take his music off the platform if they didn't remove Rogan's podcast, and Joni Mitchell did the same thing this weekend, demanding her music be taken down from the streaming service. After Spotify announced they're going forward with removing Young's music, #SpotifyDeleted trended for hours on Twitter.1 The moment to act is now. Tell Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek: Stop the spread of disinformation and remove "The Joe Rogan Experience." [Sign UltraViolet's petition]( By giving a platform to Joe Rogan and his show, "The Joe Rogan Experience," Spotify is handing a mic to an anti-vax,2 white supremacist, and his guests, to speak at length about their life-threatening lies and conspiracy theories to millions of listeners who come across the podcast every day. It's time Spotify listened to its users and our demands. Spotify must be a space for sharing ideas, stories, and music, not deadly disinformation about COVID, hate and bigotry. Sign on to demand Spotify remove "The Joe Rogan Experience" and implement policies explicitly banning hate, disinformation, and misogyny.
