Spotify is quite literally an entertainment provider. They can provide any content they want. They are not a newspaper and have no obligation to only promote and host content that matches some folks views and honestly I’m thankful for it.

How boring the world would be if all entertainment was just someone dictating facts about things in a monotone voice that appealed to everyone.

Did this work in court when Alex Jones tried to claim that his show is pure comedy and stage persona should not be liable because it’s just a fictional character only played by Jones? Will Joe Rohan start to claim that no reasonable person would trust information on his podcast?
