Spotify announced this Sunday that it will include a notice in all its content where it talks about covid-19, in response to criticism received by the broadcast of the program "

The Joe Rogan Experience",

and that it is accused of promoting

conspiracy theories about the coronavirus and to encourage not to get vaccinated.

"We are working to add a content notice to any episode of a podcast that includes a discussion about covid-19," said the executive director of the music platform and pre-recorded programs,

Daniel Ek,

in a statement that also details that will publish the company's dissemination standards.

The ad, Spotify says, will direct listeners to a "Covid-19 hub, a resource that provides easy access to data-driven, up-to-date information shared by scientists, clinicians, academics, and public health authorities around the world, as well as as links to reliable sources.

The controversy surrounding Spotify focuses on the program "The Joe Rogan Experience", considered

the most popular podcast in the United States.

The show, offered exclusively on this platform after

Spotify signed Rogan for $100 million in 2020,

has been repeatedly criticized for promoting coronavirus conspiracy theories and encouraging non-vaccination.

A letter signed by 270 American doctors and scientists warned Spotify a few weeks ago that it was

allowing the dissemination of messages that damage public confidence in scientific research

and health recommendations.

"There has been a lot of conversation about information about covid-19 on Spotify. We have listened to the criticism and are implementing changes to help combat misinformation," Ek wrote on Twitter, acknowledging that, despite having rules for the production of content, They have not been "transparent" when they could be known by everyone.

The last to criticize Spotify have been

Prince Harry of England and his wife Meghan Markle

who expressed their concern to the company about misinformation about covid-19 on the platform, although they assured that they are still willing to continue working with her, explained today a spokesperson for his foundation, Archewell.

The statement by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex comes after Neil Young and Joni Mitchell announced that they will be removing their music from Spotify in protest at the broadcast of the popular Joe Rogan podcast.

The executive director of the platform also insisted on Spotify's commitment to fighting misinformation as well as education on issues related to covid-19.

"We launched various educational resources and campaigns to raise awareness and developed and promoted a global COVID-19 information hub," Spotify's chief executive officer said in the statement.
