Spotify CEO Daniel Ek attempted damage control Sunday afternoon as the streaming service comes under fire for Covid-19 misinformation shared on its “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Sunday that the company has “heard the criticism and we’re implementing changes to combat misinformation,” referring to but not explicitly referencing the recent controversy surrounding Spotify’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Spotify will add a content warning to episodes talking about Covid-19 and linking to coronavirus podcasts from reputable news sources, Ek said in a published Sunday, though there is no mention that podcasts that promote false or misleading claims about the coronavirus will be given special treatment compared to episodes featuring factual discussion.
Spotify will only bar Covid-19 misinformation content on one of four grounds, according to its content released Sunday: saying that approved vaccines are intended to kill people, claiming Covid-19 is not real, encouraging people to intentionally get Covid-19 or promoting the consumption of bleach for medical treatment.
