The singer asks that her songs are removed from the platform in protest against Covid misinformation.

Singer Joni Mitchell has joined Neil Young in asking for her music to be removed from Spotify over Covid misinformation concerns.

Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have been friends for many years, and are both survivors of polio. They both contracted the disease in the early 1950s, not long before a vaccine became available.However, she did include a link to ansigned by a group of scientists and medical professionals, which criticised Spotify for hosting Rogan's podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience.

It calls on Spotify to "take action against the mass-misinformation events which continue to occur on its platform". On Wednesday, Spotify agreed to remove his songs from the platform, and said it hoped he decides to return to the platform soon. It also defended its record in removing misinformation from the service.

Never heard of her.

PS The problem is, I had never heard of Joe Rogan, now I'm going to have to listen to him to see what all the fuss is about. Well, I don't have to but if I want to form an opinion I will.

NIEL and Joni come from an era of protests in the sixties. Both of them still popular,their music is still widely listened to.However,I am surprised they aren't more on the side of freedom of speech and rights but their history of Polio makes their pro vax stance unserstandable.

Good! Bye Felicia!

Slow clap. She and Neil young can go do a koombaya singalong ep. Shame on them for promoting censorship of what doesn’t line up with their views. Adult yourselves and listen to what you want and ignore the rest.

Absolutely silly.. As much as we might all disagree with Joe Rogan.. Everyone shld be heard. We have far right parties saying alot worse in most of Europe and they are allowed to speak their shit on parliaments.. What's so special abt covid

Is that Jimmy Saville?

'Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone' is one helluva lyric in a world that's about to lose freedom of speech to censorship.

Are Joni and Neil making a stance together because they are Canadians and principled? Well, none of that applies since they don't represent the feelings of many Canadians and not really principled when the artist-above-all-else caves by selling his music to big corp for 150 mill.

lol what a load of rubbish. If anything the spotify paywall is keeping people away from Rogan. And the propaganda machine seeming desperate.

Join Mitchell? She's a singer?

Is her music owned by the Blackstone Group?

Oh another member of the covid cult. Madness how all the constant fear porn has created a pandemic of the mentally ill. Most of the information given out by MSN has turned out to be utter crap. Yet 'conspiracy theorists' have been correct more times than not.

Who? Had to look them up.

Woman, you're 110 or something who cares?

Don’t even know who this guy is See you, Jon

She's clueless too? Disappointed, wont listen to her if she's that confused

Don’t forget to watch TheRapeOfBritain today in Telford A lot of rapist pigs will become wery famous today and their sick perverted behaviour will be exposed

If it's misinformation that's lead to this, her TV should be out the window and Joni won't be reading this article because by rights, she won't be paying attention to the BBC.

'Nobody has stronger opinions about Joe Rogan than people who have never listened to Joe Rogan.' Edward Snowden

' Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives ', the Canadian singer said in a post on her official website .

See ya

Who?

Let her? It's just money after all.

Why do at?

Apparently, No1 on ‘Most Read’ stories on BBC website!! - US stormy weather and Patel’s extradition story also ahead of The Met istory. Really?🤔🤔 I trust the BBC as much as I trust the Met….💩💩

Spotify is about to become one of the 'fuck around and find out' brigade.

Never heard of her 🤷‍♂️

Good

You're so vain

Great Joni Mitchell! Trump silenced, banned, and Rogan no ?!?!? Spotifydeleted

Fuck Canada

Win-win

Remember when anti war activists were silenced by the media in the 60s and 70s.

As long as they don't start taking off what I listen to I'm alright

Joni is one of the truly gifted musicians of our time.

Who?

Big yellow fever
