"Much gnashing of teeth ensued from the Rogan-supporter camp, with many insisting that Young et al.’s actions were somehow interfering with Rogan’s free speech, or even “censoring” him.
That’s not how any of this works. Rogan is free to carry out his business with Spotify, just as Young, Mitchell, Nash and Lofgren are free to cease doing so. No one is stopping Rogan’s fans from listening to him. Similarly, fans of the artists who have removed their music from Spotify are free to listen to those artists elsewhere."
I love this paragraph, so true here as well
Quote:There are many lessons to be learned here, but perhaps the most damning of them is the umpteenth revelation that our education systems have failed to adequately prepare somewhere in the region of 30% of the population for a life that requires logical analysis, deductive reasoning and adulting. As a result, the blatant spreading of lies and disinformation for profit is viewed as a legitimate “side” in the “both-sides-ism” philosophy. This would all be hilarious, if it wasn’t so tragic.
In the 21st century.
