After Young (l) pulled his music from Spotify, the streaming giant will add 'content advisories' to COVID-related podcasts, like Rogan's (r) Image: AP Photo/picture alliance The new rules, set to take effect in coming days, are in response to controversy over Spotify's decision to continue streaming Joe Rogan's podcast episodes and instead remove Neil Young's music after the musician asked the platform to choose between them. The advisory will also lead people to a 'dedicated COVID-19 Hub' that provides easy access to up-to-date scientific information on the pandemic, Ek said in a statement. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said on Sunday that the streaming giant will add a content advisory to podcasts about the coronavirus pandemic. Fellow singer Joni Mitchelland Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band guitarist, Nils Lofgren, then followed suit in solidarity with Young. Singer-songwriter Neil Young announced last week that he was removing his music from Spotify in protest against the COVID-19 misinformation broadcasted on the platform.

'I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people's perspectives so we can maybe find a better point of view.' 'If I pissed you off, I'm sorry,' Rogan said. He posted a nearly 10-minute video on Instagram Sunday night during which he apologized to Spotify for the backlash, and promised to 'do my best in the future to balance things out.' Rogan, who has hosted COVID-19 skeptics on his podcast, has long attracted criticism for his views on the pandemic, vaccines and government mandates to curb the virus' spread. US podcaster Joe Rogan has apologized following a backlash against COVID-19 misinformation on his program, while streaming giant Spotify, the platform on which 'The Joe Rogan Experience' is aired, said on Sunday it would add a ' content advisory' to any episode related to COVID-19.
