But it was passing it on and we saw the data play out. It was something that we saw a lot of officials take issue with, because the whole push at that point was to get vaccinated, because the risks aren't necessarily for young people. But, I mean, it comes in the context of what he said earlier, which was something that he did say on his podcast, which was about younger Americans not necessarily needing to get vaccinated. If we're talking specifically about Ivermectin, that's not something Joe Rogan talked about, as I understand it on the platform. Should Spotify be responsible for something that wasn't necessarily pushed on their platform? But, you know, I will put the question to you, Zack. Seriously, just stop it." And that's the tweet you just highlighted. The FDA put out a tweet, saying, "You're not a horse.
Well, this was last month, because, you know, there were some- he was sort of pushing that then. After he announced that he had, in fact, been infected with COVID-19, he took to Instagram to talk about this deworming drug.Īnd you mentioned the FDA tweeting about it. Now if you back up a little bit, this is not something that Joe Rogan said on his podcast.
Remember Twitter, for example, former President Trump after the insurrection back in January.Īnd this raises new questions for Spotify, which is should you allow a podcast host to be able to push some of these theories that the FDA has said is clearly not any kind of a solution for COVID-19? Spotify has been able to escape the spotlight, if you will, around the content on their platform. But now raising new questions about whether Spotify should be included in this discussion around tech giants needing to police the content on their platform.ĪKIKO FUJITA: Yes, in many ways, Zack. We've seen a lot of people talking about that. And, Akiko, a lot of people taking issue with what he said about his treatment that was received after that, saying in an Instagram post here that he had used Ivermectin- That horse tranquilizer drug that the FDA has come out and said, don't use it because it doesn't help in treating COVID-19.
