Harry and Meghan voice concern to Spotify over Covid-19 misinformation

Rogan has stirred controversy with his views on the pandemic, government mandates and vaccines to control the spread of the coronavirus…reports Asian Lite News

Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have expressed their concern to Spotify about COVID-19 misinformation on its platform and are committed to continuing to work with the company, a spokesperson for their Archewell foundation said on Sunday.

Singer-song writers Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are removing their music from Spotify in protest that the popular streaming service has allowed the airing of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.

Harry and Ms Meghan signed a series of corporate deals, including producing and hosting podcasts for Spotify, as part of their efforts to make a living following their split with Britain’s royal family announced in 2020.

“Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of rampant disinformation every day. Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of COVID-19 misinformation on its platform,” the spokesperson said.

“We have continued to express our concerns to Spotify to ensure changes to its platform are made to help address this public health crisis. We look to Spotify to meet this moment and are committed to continuing our work together as it does.”

The Swedish company has previously said it worked to balance” both safety for listeners and freedom for creators” and had removed more than 20,000 podcast episodes related to Covid-19 in accordance with its “detailed content policies.”

Young objected to his music being played on the same platform as Joe Rogan’s top-rated podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience”. Rogan has stirred controversy with his views on the pandemic, government mandates and vaccines to control the spread of the coronavirus.

Earlier this month, 270 scientists and medical professionals signed a letter urging Spotify to take action against Rogan, accusing him of spreading falsehoods on the podcast.
