Why We're Cancelling Spotify

Government and AccountabilityCommunityMusic
Written By Melissa Rooney

My hubby just signed the whole family up for Tidal (I love that man). We are closing our family Spotify account at the end of this month in protest to the company’s corporate greed and capital facilitation of misinformation: https://nypost.com/2022/01/26/spotify-sides-with-joe-rogan-removes-neil-youngs-music/. Freedom of Speech is one thing; but, at the very least, we should not reward misinformation-spewing instigators, financially or otherwise.

#VoteWithYourWallets, America! At every opportunity.
