Amazing how you logged onto Spotify in 2008, when it wasn’t available in the states until 2011

I understand you are not a critical thinker and really cannot grasp non simple concepts.
But I will lay this out for you.
- the person whose feelings hurt is the artist who is taking her ball and going home
- you have posted about the mms a lot. I have posted about them none
- the issue I have continues to be the lefts obsession with silencing any voice that isn't in lockstep with their own. "Oh no someone on the platform has different opinions than me! I must make a stand!!"
- these same idiots don't know what "misinformation" is... As they never raise an issue with cnn pushing Russia, Covington, gang rape, masks, vaccines, etc etc etc etc etc. I.e., it ALWAYS political and always pathetic
- you always find yourself on the side of censorship... Every single time

A decade ago, we created Spotify to enable the work of creators around the world to be heard and enjoyed by listeners around the world. To our very core, we believe that listening is everything. Pick almost any issue and you will find people and opinions on either side of it. Personally, there are plenty of individuals and views on Spotify that I disagree with strongly. We know we have a critical role to play in supporting creator expression while balancing it with the safety of our users. In that role, it is important to me that we don’t take on the position of being content censor while also making sure that there are rules in place and consequences for those who violate them.
You’ve had a lot of questions over the last few days about our platform policies and the lines we have drawn between what is acceptable and what is not. We have had rules in place for many years but admittedly, we haven’t been transparent around the policies that guide our content more broadly. This, in turn, led to questions around their application to serious issues including COVID-19.
Based on the feedback over the last several weeks, it’s become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time. These issues are incredibly complex. We’ve heard you – especially those from the medical and scientific communities – and are taking the following steps:
Today we are publishing our long-standing Platform Rules. These policies were developed by our internal team in concert with a number of outside experts and are updated regularly to reflect the changing safety landscape. These are rules of the road to guide all of our creators—from those we work with exclusively to those whose work is shared across multiple platforms. You can now find them on our newsroom, and they’ll live permanently on the main Spotify website. They are being localized into various languages to help our users understand how Spotify assesses all content on our platform.
We are working to add a content advisory to any podcast episode that includes a discussion about COVID-19. This advisory will direct listeners to our dedicated COVID-19 Hub, a resource that provides easy access to data-driven facts, up-to-date information as shared by scientists, physicians, academics and public health authorities around the world, as well as links to trusted sources. This new effort to combat misinformation will roll out to countries around the world in the coming days. To our knowledge, this content advisory is the first of its kind by a major podcast platform.
We will also begin testing ways to highlight our Platform Rules in our creator and publisher tools to raise awareness around what’s acceptable and help creators understand their accountability for the content they post on our platform. This is in addition to the terms that creators and publishers agree to governing their use of our services.
I want you to know that from the very first days of the pandemic, Spotify has been biased toward action. We launched a variety of educational resources and campaigns to raise awareness and we developed and promoted a global COVID-19 Information Hub. We donated ad inventory to various organizations for vaccine awareness, funds to the World Health Organization and COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) to increase vaccine equity and supported the Go Give One fundraising campaign. And we established a music relief project to support the creative community. While this is not a complete list, I hope it gives you a sense of how seriously we’ve approached the pandemic as a company.
I trust our policies, the research and expertise that inform their development, and our aspiration to apply them in a way that allows for broad debate and discussion, within the lines. We take this seriously and will continue to partner with experts and invest heavily in our platform functionality and product capabilities for the benefit of creators and listeners alike. That doesn’t mean that we always get it right, but we are committed to learning, growing and evolving.

A band-aid or ... ?
we'll see
Also odd that this pandemic is 2 years and 900K ago, today they release a statement
after losing a flood of money and lord knows how much PR goodwill
Listening and thinking about the song " Ohio" wondering if Kent State would still be active in our national conscience had it not been for the opening guitar lick ???
" don't it always seem to go you don't know what you got till its gone "
also learned the past few days they gave Rogan $100M for exclusive rights to his podcast
" As of 2019, Spotify reported that it pays between $0.00331 and $0.00437 per stream" to musical artists

Ek also wrote that for the first time, the service is publishing its platform rules, which address dangerous, deceptive, sensitive and illegal content.
Among them are rules barring
“content that promotes dangerous false or dangerous deceptive medical information
that may cause offline harm or poses a direct threat to public health,”
including denial of the existence of Covid-19 or that “promoting or suggesting
that vaccines approved by local health authorities are designed to cause death.”

You expect someone like 57 to know this?
I knew it from the second he said it that this would be his most ridiculous thing he uttered.
What a moron.
