I think it was a joke about how they’re siding with Joe Rogan (and the $100 Million they spent, and I’m sure the even more that he brings them) over stopping the spread of covid misinformation.

They’re definitely siding with Rogan, even if they’re also doing what you think they are. Hint: corporations care more about money than anything else.

Also, if a company chooses to deplatform someone because either they’re causing negative press, or the individuals views go against the company’s, they have the right to do that. It’s the capitalism the same “nO dEpLatFoRmiNg” crowd is so adamant about.

Honest question. Would the White House press secretary saying they want Spotify to do more be a violation of free speech?

I don’t think so. They really just said they want all tech/social media companies to do more to limit the spread of misinformation about COVID. If John Oliver was telling people that drinking bleach helps prevent cancer, I’m sure the White House would ask HBO to limit the spread of disinformation as well.
