Spotify has begun to remove Neil Young’s catalog after the singer protested the company over 'dangerous life-threatening COVID falsehoods'

last year. He also called Spotify founder Daniel Ek his friend and said he was disappointed Ek had “taken the steps he has taken because it stopped my music from being shared on his SPOTIFY platform.”

“We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users,” the company said in a statement. “With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. We have detailed content policies in place and we’ve removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.

These young people believe SPOTIFY would never present grossly unfactual information. They unfortunately are wrong. I knew I had to try to point that out. Before I told my friends at Warner Bros about my desire to leave the SPOTIFY platform, I was reminded by my own legal forces that contractually I did not have the control of my music to do that. I announced I was leaving anyway, because I knew I was. I was prepared to do all I could and more just to make sure that happened.

Neil Young requests Spotify remove his music after artist’s ultimatum over Joe Rogan podcastNeil Young, the legendary rocker, reportedly posted a letter on Monday to his management team that he wanted his music pulled from Spotify because it is providing a platform for popular podcast host Joe Rogan to spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. So free speech only applies when you agree? What a weirdo country we’ve become… where if you don’t like what somebody else has to say you find the need to issue ultimatums to silence them. I can think of another country… Didn’t Neil Young sell the rights to his catalog ?

Whatever, Spotify.🙄 'Seemingly'? R you kidding with that headline? Spotify will ALWAYS put ROI above anything else. Neil's music may be part of the soundtrack of contemporary American life - and Rogan may be a roided-out dumpster fire of dangerous information, if Rogan rolls in the dollars - he wins
