We agree with Liz Wheeler: Rogan, Spotify, Substack...
Spotify took the FIRST step towards censorship by labeling Rogan's content for COVID-19... Spotify has set a precedence for itself and will do something else when push comes to shove once again...
Rogan's apology at first seemed unnecessary. We later discovered he used a slang term for Black-American that should never have been used, hence 70 podcasts have been removed with that term being used. That's a LOT of podcasts no matter how you look at it... Spotify did not perform due diligence when it accepted Rogan's podcast (as well as with Obama's but another story, another time). Should you have a choice to listen to him using such language? If you believe you do, then how do you protect the ears of those that can't or won't discern what is slang and what is good character? Just remember the means employed determines the nature of the ends produced... (Aldous Huxley)

Substack's response was on the mark - stick with the First Amendment as well as good character. You can't sharpen a knife on a sponge - you can't exercise Liberty via censorship. You read their response here:
