Most social media platforms employ a combination of soft and hard remedies to address misinformation. Seemingly exploiting a loophole in its own policy, the platform decided not to take any action against Joe Rogan.
But it will only take action against creators if the content falls into two categories: it either has to assert that the pandemic is a hoax, or it has to be content that encourages people to get infected deliberately. It revealed that it has rules in place to stop harmful messages regarding the pandemic.

Singer Joni Mitchell also threatened to remove her music from the platform. On January 24, Canadian American singer Neil Young threatened to pull his music from the platform if they didn’t remove the Joe Rogan Experience from their platform.
