Robert Malone, points to a critical post about Malone on fact-checking site PolitiFact, and urges Spotify to establish a policy on misinformation. It calls out an episode of Rogan's podcast that featured virologist and vaccine skeptic Dr. In her post, Mitchell, the artist behind songs like Big Yellow Taxi, Help Me and A Case of You, included a link to that same letter. Young sparked a #DeleteSpotify movement earlier this week when he yanked his catalog off the service and cited a letter by more than 250 doctors, nurses, scientists and educators who criticized Spotify and its most popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, for spreading vaccine misinformation.ĬOVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe and effective against severe disease, hospitalization and death. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue." "Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives.
"I've decided to remove all my music from Spotify," Mitchell said Friday in a brief post on her website. Joining protests by a group of medical professionals and by rocker Neil Young, the iconic singer-songwriter says she plans to pull her work off Spotify over false claims about COVID-19 vaccines.
The head of the World Health Organization weighed in supporting Young’s campaign.Joni Mitchell has turned up the volume on demands for music and podcast streamer Spotify to address misinformation on its platform. But that could change and some independent podcasters are already vowing to stop distributing episodes on Spotify. So far there has not been a rush of other significant artists joining the boycott. In a statement posted on Young’s website Saturday, Lofgren called music “Earth’s secret weapon” and urged others to stand with “hundreds of health care professionals, scientists, doctors and nurses in calling out Spotify for promoting lies and misinformation that are hurting and killing people.” Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren also is pulling his songs from Spotify. “I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”Īnd just as they did after Young’s takedown, Apple Music took full advantage with an on-service Joni Lives here campaign. “Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives,” Mitchell wrote in message posted on her website under the headline I Stand With Neil Young.
