Reminder as you ponder this blatant hypocrisy:
The campaign against Rogan doesn't have to convince you.
It only has to convince Spotify. Much, much smaller target demographic, with a lot to lose - not even money so much... 1/5

...as losing a nice future free of relentless assaults on the co.
I wasn't paying much attention to Spotify/Rogan until it became clear it's an organized assault.
Saw the clues; @wokal_distance brings the receipts.
So do pay attention. This is how canceling is done. 2/5

It's not spontaneous or grassroots. In Rogan's case it obviously isn't; indignation about him is all imagined - not demonstrated - b/c high-profile media keep throwing new punches.
Rogan's nobody's "favorite" on L or R. He's just an independent voice. 3/5

And *that's why he's being attacked.*
They'll prob get Spotify to cave eventually. They've got the clout hammer for a single-backbone Internet. It's how everyone can be gotten to.
We need to watch & learn. You get what you pay for. The "free" or basic subscription Internet... 4/5

...on single backbone belongs to someone else, who *will* control it to defame & silence freedom of thought & speech.
"Killing" Rogan through Spotify can kill 1,000 other Spotifys & Rogans, just by alarming example.
Guess we'll see if Trump & Nunes can bypass that reality.
5/5
