Spotify employees threaten to strike if Joe Rogan podcasts aren’t edited/removed
The drive towards censorship that seems to have revved up in the last few years is an astonishing change. I&#x27;m old enough to remember the utopian thinking about the web&#x27;s planned positive effects on free speech and free discourse: now it seems that a new and, to my mind, strange censoriousness seems to have settled in.<p>When I read Jonathan Haidt&#x27;s <i>The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion</i>, I don&#x27;t think I understood how broadly applicable it would be. His follow-up, with Greg Lukianoff, <i>The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure</i>, is also applicable to the censorship movements afoot in many companies (including publishing companies).
