I’m as fierce a defender as you will find of freedom of speech. When you pay to acquire content, “you’re it.” You don’t get to have it both ways: you can’t both own it- and profit from it as Spotify does-yet not take responsibility for it. From my vantage point, the answer seems pretty clear. The answer has implications not just for Spotify but for other digital platforms that have begun paying some content creators, including Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok. The Rogan episode has thrown into high relief the question of whether it’s a “platform” that simply allows creators to spread content, or whether it is a media company, which has legal liability.

Rogan continues, admitting, “oftentimes I have no idea what I’m going to talk about until I sit down and talk to people.
