So far, 42 episodes of the podcasts catalog have been nixed from the audio streamer, according to Digital Music News, a source for music industry news and analysis. Its unclear why these episodes have been pulled, but some episodes cited by Variety seem to contain controversial content. Episodes that have been removed include interviews with far-right figures such as former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos and Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, as well as four episodes with comedian Chris DElia, who last year was accused of grooming underage girls and soliciting child pornography. Three episodes with Bulletproof Coffee founder Dave Asprey were also deleted from the platform, DMN reported. Asprey, who refers to himself as the father of biohacking, developed a high-fat diet that has been criticized for being unscientific. Vox called it a caricature of a bad fad-diet book. In March, the comedian confirmed on his podcast that Spotify had refused to transfer a number of his earlier shows as part of the agreement. There were a few episodes they didnt want on their platform, and I was like OK, I dont care, Rogan said, per DMN. Some of the episodes Spotify chose not to transfer featured conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of Infowars fame. In 2018, Spotify deleted several episodes of Jones radio show from the platform, citing its policies against hate speech. Shortly after Jones appearance, Buzzfeed News obtained a leaked email from Horacio Gutierrez, Spotifys chief legal officer and head of global affairs, who told team managers, We are not going to ban specific individuals from being guests on other peoples shows, as the episode/show complies with our content policies. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:952648610] in Spotify Qu...
