Spotify CEO Daniel Ek addressed the swirling controversy over Joe Rogan as a growing number of musicians are pressuring the streaming audio company to cut ties with Rogan, who has been accused of spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
“We don’t change our policies based on one creator nor do we change it based on any media cycle or call from anyone else,” Ek said Wednesday during the company’s quarterly earnings call. “I do believe they’re right for our platform. And while Joe has a massive audience, is actually the number one podcast in more than 90 markets, he also has to abide by those policies.”
