As others have pointed out, this isn't about COVID. That said, the notion that some topics cannot be discussed or cannot be discussed in a certain way is not only wrong, it is outrageous.

Yeah, the original post has no context, I assumed they were deleted due to pressure from Neil Young & co about COVID disinformation.

It appears that they were deleted instead due to his use of racial slurs. Which, I guess, is a "gotcha".

With your regards to your second point, I do not know what you are referencing. This goes back to my earlier point. Are you saying that it's outrageous that Spotify would remove podcasts containing racial slurs? Or have you pushed aside the topic-at-hand to discuss some social issue outside of this topic?
