Then maybe Joe Rogan shouldn’t have sold his podcast for a large pile of money. Because in doing so he let someone else have control over his speech.

If this is a battle you want to fight, I might suggest starting with the book banning efforts by Republicans (the actual government) across many states that’s going on right now.

To my recollection, Rogan sold to Spotify with the express agreement that he would have complete control over content and publishing. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

Maybe he shouldn't have. And yet I am saying, in this world in which he did, Spotify shouldn't censor him.

Yes, book banning is also bad, I agree. (???)
