I think that was mainly FUD there is no way that they would’ve put that in there at least not in a manner that could be triggered by simply removing an episode.

There might be some material breach clauses there around censorship but it would guess if there are they are worded in a manner that can only be triggered if Spotify directly forces Joe to say something or to bring a specific guest to say something for example.




Just curious, how exactly is that FUD? It's not the F, the U or the D.


You are technically correct but FUD these days is often used as a synonym for disinformation in general.


But disinformation itself has a specific meaning "propaganda spread deliberately to deceive" that does not apply here, either.
