Rogan has consistently criticized Big Tech’s censorship for some time. He has also been criticised by the left.
Earlier in the year, he warned that Big Tech was changing American politics–and not for the better.
“All these, like, internet companies, whether it’s Google or whether it’s Facebook or Instagram, if they can just censor you based on ideology, then you don’t have freedom of speech.” he said and further suggested that Big Tech is functionally “some sort of utility” and concluded: “when it’s literally one of the main two or three ways that human beings share ideas across the planet fucking earth, it’s bigger than just a company. And, and I don’t know what the solution to that is, but we have to have that conversation.”
Rogan also criticised Google’s purported censorship of COVID-19 treatments.
“I’m looking for very specific people and very specific cases, and I’m getting CDC websites. And I’m getting, you know, articles on the disinformation attached to vaccines, and vaccines being safe and effective, which for the most part they are — just like peanuts are safe and effective for the most part, you know?”
