Spotify chooses Joe Rogan over Neil Young
You can still hear Neil Young classics like “Heart of Gold” and “Rockin’ in the Free World” on Spotify, but not for much longer.
We want all the world’s music and audio content to be available to Spotify users. 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 since the start of the pandemic. We regret Neil’s decision to remove his music from Spotify, but hope to welcome him back soon.Reps for Spotify did not specify when Young’s tunes would exit the platform.
“Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy,’ Young wrote to the Swedish company on January 25. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform … They can have Rogan or Young.
