Meta scales back COVID disinformation policies while Spotify ignores Joe Rogan's anti-vax antics

Meta has decided it no longer needs to enforce a site-wide misinformation policy regarding COVID, saying that "our Covid-19 misinformation rules will no longer be in effect globally as the global public health emergency declaration that triggered those rules has been lifted". It will instead tailor its rules by region. I don't know why making up bullshit about COVID is acceptable in one region but isn't in another, but I'm also not responsible for creating the biggest bullshit machine history has ever seen. Meanwhile, Joe Rogan's Spotify hosted podcast is on a fresh anti-vaccine streak, interviewing Robert F. Kennedy Jr and letting him spew all kinds of nonsense about vaccines unchallenged. Spotify has removed Rogan's podcasts in the past for similar crap spewing, but this one remains untouched.
