Leftists were triggered Tuesday as Infowars guru Alex Jones was able to appear on a big tech platform without being censored or banned.
Jones was once again a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, however, it was the first time Jones has appeared since Rogan moved to Spotify, prompting scores of butthurt leftists to immediately begin lobbying the streaming service to take down the episode.
The Independent complained that “Rogan and Jones appeared in a photo that showed them failing to practise social distancing,” before noting that “critics called out Spotify for hosting Jones via the episode when he is supposed to have been banned from the platform.”
Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s kid, claimed that “Alex Jones posted death threats against me. He called Sandy Hook a hoax and harassed mourning families. Now he is lying about covid vaccines. His hate speech is not just vile – it’s dangerous. WTH Spotify?”

Pelosi picked up on posts from “free speech activist” Nathan Bernard, who seemed to be exclusively calling for Jones’ and Rogan’s free speech to be shut down:
Joe Rogan says kids are "getting polio from taking vaccines" after Alex Jones spreads conspiracy that Bill Gates is trafficking vaccines that get 100% of people sick.
Great work hosting this, @spotify. pic.twitter.com/y6n6PWRxtE

I am assuming the "free speech activist" in your bio is a joke.

As soon as they heard that Jones was on the podcast, Leftist “reporters” began harassing Spotify demanding to know why Jones isn’t banned
Weirdly Spotify didn’t respond to my question about why Alex Jones’ show is banned from the platform for “hate speech,” but it’s cool for him to appear for 3+ hours on someone else’s show on the platform. https://t.co/mn0sNgIjMA

Their answer would have obviously been "because this isn't Nazi Germany"

Sticks and stones will break my bones but corporations that allow “misinformation” (stuff I don’t like) must be tattled to.

CNN’s resident bed wetter also got in on the act:

Journalists: Lobby to have any original, interesting, fun, authentic person silenced in a culture of insipid, sterile boredom.
Also journalists: "Why does everyone hate us?"
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) October 28, 2020
Imagine being so pathetic and boring that you are forced to craft an entire career out of lobbying for all the interesting people to be banned, so your tedious, insipid ass is all that's left.
…and yet still no one is interested in what you have to say.

This needs to be censored immediately

Aside from spewing their usual vitriol against Jones, Soros propaganda arm Media Matters also went after Comedian Tim Dillon, who appeared alongside Jones and Rogan on the podcast, insinuating that he is a racist for expressing disdain over Democrat efforts to defund police.
Other leftists cried to Spotify, threatening to cancel their accounts, along with the hashtag #cancelspotify, which is highly ironic given that a large portion of Jones and Rogan’s conversation centred around cancel culture:
There is a time and place in history where you take a stand with your wallet. This is it.
Cancel your @Spotify Subscription, NOW. https://t.co/LsZ5rOkXfF— Akhi's Bytes and NASA's Flights(fr sale on amazon) (@AkhisBytes) October 27, 2020

Hey @Spotify. I just cancelled my Premium account. If you'd ever like my money back, can it with this shit. https://t.co/B9SlG9WELv

I’ve been a @Spotify user since Rdio went the way of the Buffalo, and @replyall is one of my fave podcasts. But I don’t want to give money to people that finance this BS. https://t.co/qk5Q5bWgtp

Given that Jones’ last appearance on Rogan was the most listened to podcast in a decade, Spotify is likely not all that worried about these 14 snowflakes canceling:

Hey @spotify, before I cancel my account with you anything to say regarding this? Does seeking audience numbers justify this? Very disappointing. https://t.co/dJ48aWpb8m

I really don't want to cancel my Spotify subscription, but like, this is literally an attack vector for misinformation. https://t.co/FpZScEwmWr
