Spotify just added COVID-19 content advisory on podcasts, it’s too late now

–––––

Spotify has now added a content advisory label for COVID-19. You’ll now be able to see a COVID-19 Guide tab while visiting podcasts discussing COVID-19. You’ll visit a section that points you to authoritative sources when you tap it. The advisory doesn’t seem to be available everywhere. This is Spotify’s response to Joe Rogan being criticized after they were accused of spreading COVID-19 misinformation via the JoeRoganExperience. Spotify’s Daniel Ek promised this content advisory and also public content guidelines, this label was supposed to arrive within days but it’s been too long.

The content warning doesn’t improve Spotify’s image much as many high-profile artists pulled or paused their work in protest over the misinformation existing in the first place, a label likely won’t be enough to satisfy the critics that want Spotify to remove misinformation.

Although Spotify addressed some creator concerns, that included Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there still is a lot of lasting damage.
