So if the government can force spotify to publish all opinions, why should they not be able to force you to do the same on your blog?

In the status quo private people and companies are allowed to not accept contributions on their websites. This is not censorship, this is their right as runners of a plattform. Joe rogan can always go and create his own if he finds that no one wants to publish him.

I don't see how enabling the government to force people to publish speech they don't want to say isn't 100% worse than what we have now. It reminds me of stories from the soviet union.

If the government has tried to "force" Spotify to take down or produce content, then the government is in the wrong and Spotify is spineless for not fighting back. We have the Constitution for a reason in the U.S. The government would not have a leg to stand on.

But that's not what happened. Spotify is taking down content for financial reasons. They don't like the heat they are getting from the press, musicians, and yes maybe perhaps the government. And companies have always made editorial decisions for financial reasons.

You misread my comment, I am not of the opinion that this is actually the case.

So let the shareholders decide what’s best for Spotify.

Ya sure. But there are literally decision makers who frequent this forum, so if I object to something for sound reasons it’s worth saying so.
