I think the real issue isn't that people are calling for censorship. They're calling for Spotify to not pay people to produce political propaganda.

Now, we get the worst of both worlds, where Spotify funds the production of harmful propaganda (by their own published standards), and also starts censoring independently produced content.

What specifically is the harmful political propaganda? Please provide direct quotes in context so that we can understand whether your complaint is valid.

Before they do that, can you clarify who you believe should subsequently judge the validity?

Everyone can judge for themselves.

HN should remove your posts, because I don't agree with you.

Case closed.

Spotify recently published their criteria, and they also said the Joe Rogan content they're funding violated it.

My criteria don't matter, and Spotify's criteria have no bearing on the statement I made.

You're not making any sense. The Spotify Platform Rules don't mention anything about "political propaganda" or "harmful propaganda", as per your original comment above. So what was your point exactly?

Rogan obviously falls afoul of "dangerous" and "deceptive". They published the rules in response to complaints that he's been putting out propaganda.

Do you have a better pejorative adjective to describe Rogan's content?
