Key people associated with Spotify exclusive podcast 'Science Vs' have refused to do more podcasts until Spotify changes the way it handles misinformation.
. In 2020, Spotify signed a multiyear licensing deal with Rogan for his podcast, said to be worth around $200 million.
“We know we have a critical role to play in supporting creator expression while balancing it with the safety of our users,” Ek said in a blog post on Sunday. “In that role, it is important to me that we don’t take on the position of being content censor while also making sure that there are rules in place and consequences for those who violate them.”
On Monday, Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, who signed the open letter to Spotify, said he didn’t think the policy or its disclaimers was adequate. “They’re not going to go to some website, which has COVID facts or straight talk that everyone can agree on when they basically just listen to the podcast,” Topol said regarding the disclaimers. “When they put on people who are known for having put out deliberate bad information and are leading an anti-vax, anti-science movement ... what Spotify plans to do is just not gonna be very effective in titrating the problem. It’s something, but they need to go much further.
