Link this too. You're just making up complete bullshite now.
You won't do either because they don't exist. You'll post some nonsensical rant that won't relate to anything yet again.

this is boring and pointless.
please continue giving 0 fricks and racking up dozens of posts in this thread centered around an off topic discussion on an off topic forum board of which you can’t seem to wrap your tiny mind around.

Not only are they controlling speech but they are changing speech. The combination of those two is what IMO makes this very dangerous.
So you want to tell a private business what they can and cannot say? Sounds like communism to me.
Seems like the company has made a decision and it will either work out for them or it won’t. Joe Rogan can stay or he can leave. You can either subscribe or not. Seems pretty rooted in capitalism to me.

To me, it seems much of it is quite the distortion of "capitalism." Isn't Rogan about the most popular thing on their platform?
At this point it seems quite clear there are other forces at work. You have to be rather blind to not realize that.

I like Joe Rogan, but he took the money and made his bed with Spotify now he has to lie in it.

Who do you want controlling a private companies speech?

That’s just because you don’t like the companies decision. I may or may not like what a company decides to say, but I don’t think we should ever take away their freedom to make that choice to say it.

I'm not suggesting we should either. I'm just recognizing the fact that it's not traditional "market" forces driving this. Because it's not, no matter how much you may want to pretend otherwise.

Some people pushing an agenda need to twist what others are saying because, you know, the market.

I think there are some people around here that think Rogen is a racist, and they’re pissed that he’s saying that he’s not and apologizing for the planet of the apes bit. I find nothing wrong with his apology for that since it was pretty offensive and even he knew it since he never aired it.
The other stuff he said about saying the “n” word is dead on accurate imo. And he didn’t apologize for saying the word. He’s
Saying that it’s unfair that a group of people are disqualified from using a word- any word…. Why should any word be off limits to anyone? I agree with him on that.
Should I be censored from singing the lyrics of a snoop dog song because they contain the N word? No! Or what about Quentin Tarantino using it in his movies? I can’t quote lines from his movies because they use the N word? Sorry but that holds no water.
Words are just that- words.

I'll never forget when Joe Rogan said he liked Bernie Sanders for president

is it “free market” capitalism when the WH, politicians, the elites, the media, and celebrities are all making statements urging that Rogan be censored or at minimum his content removed?
We’ve already seen the social media dorks be forced to show up in DC and answer why they aren’t doing more to cut down on “disinformation”? Are you going to suggest this administration and politicians aren’t pressuring social media platforms?

Yeah.
Rs, Ds, Fox News and CNN can/do criticize companies if they want.
Employees can criticize or support their employer.
Not sure who you define as “elites”, but they can say what they want either way too.
The company is the one who makes the call. They have the freedom to make a decision and consumers, employees and the media can react however they feel appropriate. It’s freedom of choice, not freedom of consequences.

so would you say you have no problem with a government and it’s bureaucrats pressuring a private company on what is or isn’t acceptable speech?
