Controversial podcasts on Spotify

Controversial podcasts on Spotify

Hello.

I have noticed some controversial podcasts in Spotify. I don't know, what is Spotify's opinion about It. I understand, that not everyone believe, that Covid19 exists. Some of those people are just quackers. Sometimes when I have encountered this podcasts, I am not tasted. If somebody have a dr. title, He mustn't be a real doctor.

Good example is this podcast mentioned abowe. It is podcast by Dr. Igor Bukovský. His Youtube channel was removed, but not without any reasons. Podcast is still on various applications and in this bad age It is very dangerous to spread various lies. Podcast's link is here.

Another strange podcast is Kulturblog. It is podcast created by some Neonazis in Slovakia. I have heard much about those fellows.

It is very rude, that I can't report those podcasts. So, for better explanation and to deny those conspiracies, here are another podcasts.

Búrači gastromýtov from Ladislav Kužela:

Now, podcast against fascism is "mladí", which is created by group "Mladí proti Fašizmu" - 'Young against Fascism'. It is opposite to Kulturblog.

Those are podcasts in Slovak language, but maybe those controversies exists also in English, German, French, Spanish ETC.

My question is again, how to report those podcasts and if You sometimes remove controversial podcasts, or not?

Thank You for explanation. You can also connect to those discussion, dear members. But please, without hate. There is also badness without those things around us.

What is a fascist? Is it one who claims to be against fascism? Or is it one who employs fascist tactics?

What is your actual problem with fascism? Mine is precisely that it does not accept dissent, does not bend over backwards to allow for serious opinions, how ever wrong, to be heard. If that is no longer an issue, why should I care what a group calls itself? Some random group will then get the rains of power and use it in fascistic ways, regardless of what they call themselves. How shall I then discern what I think is true. When there is no dissent, I will seek it out, or become a puppet, inevitably.

 

Only by listening to and respecting dissent can I ever trust anyone.

 

OK.

I'll accept Your opinion. But, I know behavior of those people. I don't want to talk about It here, but please, read definition of Fascism.

And also, about those people, who creates one podcast I know by his opinions, that really are fascists. So, is It normal, if those people attacked on arab family with children with stones? Is It normal, if those people denied the Holocaust? Or, is It normal, if those people are against non-whites, Gypsies, ETC. I know, that there is also black racism, for example in Jamaica. Ofcourse I know, that most of people from Jamaica are good. I haven't nothing against white, black, or maybe, 'green' people. I know only good and bad people. But, is It good, if somebody spreads hatred? I think, that It isn't good.

So, I can't report some podcasts in desktop app, so I would like to notify You about those things.

Also, I know, that It is topic about podcasts, but please, dear French people, are there on Spotify some songs from Légion 88? I know about this group, because one of My friends has warned me for those songs. I am against Nazism, Racism and similar ideologies. Also, quackery is dangerous in this age for people.

I asked you a question. A sincere one. What defines a fascist? Why are you
against it? What is bad about it, and why?

Yes, it is pretty normal with all those things you list. Quite normal.

OK.

Now, I would like to return back to this topic:

I understand, that for Spotify is important just profit, not health of users, or normal facts. So, It doesn't matter to Spotify, that It is misinformation. So important is just profit for those companies. I am not surprised, that some of artists just don't want to have music on Spotify. There is a bad situation on the internet, mostly with misinformations on various subject. Health is most important, as It was before. But Spotifi doesn't matter various podcasts of quackery, some radical ideologies. So, We just profit money, also those money are sometimes from human's stupidity. So, for those people, Neil Young left Spotify.

You obviously don't want to answer any questions, just remove the people challenging your views.

So I'll ask more.

Whay if you were wrong?

How would you know when you were wrong?

Who decides what is misinformation?

I'm probably one of the people you would remove for asking questions, or talking about things that might make people question things. What do think happens to me and how I relate to people when I can no longer see my concerns get a voice anywhere? What should I do? No where can I voice concerns about what is going on, without fear of removal. What is then reasonable to do?

How can I trust anything when constantly the people who calmly ask questions or reveal things are simply removed? No dialogue is initiated, just remove, remove. What kind of future are we trying to create here? What are we willing to die for? Nothing?

What should be the mechanism by which I evaluate what people tell me is true? Just trust the ones who have the most power blindly? Should knowledge be about daring to question the "obvious", or about using power to maintain a narrative?

OK.

I think, that on Spotify those informations, like some quackeries
without evidence are dangerous. There is lot of extremism, but not just
on the internet, also outside of the internet. There are lot of
podcasts. I know, that somebody loves also John Rogan's opinions, but
due to those quacking opinion one folk singer had to leave Spotify. For
example famous folk singer Neil Young. I understand him and I also hate
those misinformations.

I understand also opinions of another people, but please, could You
explain to me, that if It is good to spread such opinions, that white
race is best and another races are stupid?

Or, another thing: That Covid19 isn't exists and It was created by
China. Results of those messages are attacks on various peoples. Second
mentioned message is good example to attack not just every Chinese
people in United states, but also from another asian countries, because
China is Asia ETC.

Ofcourse, I don't know, if those podcasts are still exists on Spotify. I
hope, that not. But, if I have encountered some controversial contents
on Spotify, I can't report It. Ofcourse, silence is good, but I can for
example mention germany before 18. 18 is numbered inicials of one
person, of which was a reason to kill many people.

I know such people, who would like to remove people, also with violence.
I have heard about those people. So, I am disappointed. What is
important? True facts, or just misinformations and quackery?

Ofcourse, You can blame me, that I want to remove such people. I can
discuss with people, but with someone discussion is unnecessarily. In
Slovakia, there are lot of such people, who believes of many
conspiracies. Also, in another countries too. Nowadays, if there is a
Covid, those things are dangerous.

I also have many mistakes, but It is very bad to get out some people.

I want to report such podcasts, that's all. But, I can't report such
posts, so I have various thinkings about It. One of those things are,
that important is profit, not real facts about health, ETC.
