Spotify said Sunday that it will add content advisories before podcasts discussing the coronavirus.
NEW YORK -- Following protests of Spotify kicked off by Neil Young over the spread of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, the music streaming service said that it will add content advisories before podcasts discussing the virus.
Ek said that the advisories will link to Spotify's fact-based COVID-19 hub in what he described as a"new effort to combat misinformation." It will roll out in the coming days, Ek said. He did not specifically reference Rogan or Young. He also said that he schedules the guests on his podcast himself, and that he would try to book doctors with different opinions right after he talks to"the controversial ones." Rogan noted that he earlier sat down on the show with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the chief medical correspondent for CNN, Dr. Michael Osterholm, who is a member of President Joe Biden's COVID-19 advisory board, and Dr. Peter Hotez from Baylor College of Medicine."Sure, have that on there.
