Do you also consider it censorship when the New York Times fires or disciples a columnist who keeps printing incorrect information? Spotify is the publisher here and they are responsible for making sure that their products (such as the Joe Rogan shoe since Spotify bought it) provide truthful information.
The simple truth of the matter is that Joe Rogan has a tendency for stating falsehoods on his show, and this in turn can result in harm to Spotify's users. For instance, Joe Rogan literally just spread a bunch of misinformation about the wildfires (https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/media/joe-rogan-apologizes/in...) while broadcasting on Spotify. He clearly needs some help fact checking and editing his shows so that they can provide more truthful information.
Why shouldn't the New York Times fire or disciple a columnist with the exact same factual track record as Joe Rogan?
