We are in the middle of another COVID-19 surge, breaking record numbers daily. Curbing these numbers for the health and safety of our communities is made more difficult by media platforms that permit the sharing of dangerous COVID disinformation. Many of these conspiracy theories are shared over podcasts and platforms like Spotify continue to permit these life-threatening lies. Joe Rogan, for example, has been platforming misinformation about COVID-19 on his Spotify-hosted podcast to his nearly 11 million listeners. Rogan has been downplaying the effects of the virus, inviting guests to promote unproven treatments like Ivermectin, and dismissing the importance of vaccines. This is dangerous and cannot continue to go unchecked ! Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos. | |||||
