So you're censored because you can't post the n-word. Which, as has been pointed out, makes the word "censor" so broad it's pretty much meaningless. But you can define it so that a parent shushing their child is a censor and the rest of us will stick with something more meaningful.
You try and you try and you continually fail. Must be frustrating.
Rubbish. Those are hysterical, all the more so because they trigger you.
You sound like you are speaking from personal experience.
And why are you not holding up to your end of the bargain, LIAR. You were served your scram sandwich. Now, beat it cockroach and don't ever come back.
I am speaking from personal experience...I've seen many of your posts. "Epic fail" could have been created just for you.
White House is now involved saying that Spotify should do more to censor Joe Rogan.
White House on Spotify’s Joe Rogan Mess: “There Is More That Can Be Done” to Inform Users

It does not appear that she suggested more can be done to censor Rogan:White House on Spotify’s Joe Rogan Mess: “There Is More That Can Be Done” to Inform Users
Press secretary Jen Psaki said Spotify's COVID disclaimers were "a positive step, but there is more that can be done."
“This disclaimer, it’s a positive step, but we want every platform to be doing more to be calling out mis- and dis-information, while also uplifting accurate information,” Psaki said. “Ultimately, our view is that it is a positive step, but there is more that can be done.”
“Our hope is that all major tech platforms, and all major news sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as COVID-19,” Psaki added. “That certainly includes Spotify.”
Neil Young’s Legacy of Spreading Scientific Misinformation
The rocker threatened to pull his music from Spotify to protest Joe Rogan’s anti-vax misinformation. I hope Neil Young will remember that he helped create this problem.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young Reunite… in Removing Their Music From Spotify

Funny that three of them wrote and famously sang the words:Now CSN,.. old rockers are dying to join the cause...

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
Lest we forget the origins of the modern day "cancel culture"
Not to pick nits here, but: Stills wrote the song when he was a member of Buffalo Springfield. Though Young was also in the band, he didn't contribute any of the writing, just performing it on their first album.
Gotta give former Plant High Panther Stills his due credit.
Also, Crosby and Nash were not in Buffalo Springfield--Crosby came from the Byrds and Nash from the Hollies.
Don't think he's racist. Just a lazy comedian. A Hack.
It’s weird. You can take clips of him quoting people or talking about how others would say the word in their routines…but if you don’t put any of it in context it just sounds horrible.
For example

I don't really get Spotify's position on Rogan using slurs. They couldn't have been unaware that he does edgy comedy and they did discard some other episodes from Rogan's archive. Spotify can usually predict I'm going to like a song nobody else in Iowa has ever heard, but they don't have a coherent policy on if they are okay with/how their comedy podcasters are using slurs? Twitter did not discover this about Rogan.
I get it. However, what event caused Crosby to be expelled from the Byrds? Other then him being an egotistical ass hole (his own words).
If they take out Rogan for saying the N word…you better be prepared for the others who will be next. Kimmel, Stern
Or he joined Buffalo Springfield at Monterey Pop Festival and pissed off other members.
They’re not going to get rid of him. They’re paying him to much money and he has to many listeners. Guessing for every one that leaves Spotify another idiot decides to listen to Joe. Unfortunately I’m to invested in Spotify at this point. I could look at other options but don’t want the hassle of switching everything over. Never listened to Joe and don’t plan to. Spotify CEO is under a lot of fire right now. Sounds like a majority of his employees don’t really like being associated with the show. And it’s certainly not going to go away. Will be interesting to see what happens.
