it would be censorship if everyone who wants it has a right to a $100 million contract to say what they want said. unless i’m missing an opportunity, i don’t believe that right exists therefore giving such a contract to rogan is an editorial choice which can be withdrawn as easily as it is offered within the constraints of contract law. taking rogan off the air and paying off his contract because of public opprobrium may be an inconvenience for spotify and an annoyance for some group of rogan fans but it is in no way censorship unless, as i outlined above, there is a general right to such contracts.
