I think it\u2019s what we would hope to get from anyone, really.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I think how not only a lot of the kind of the corporate response has been, but also, frankly, the White House inserting itself into trying to cancel Joe Rogan points to the bigger issue, which is really the attempts by the power elite trying to silence and cancel people who dare to question the establishment narrative, who dare to maybe hold a different view. And that response, trying to cancel people. Silence them and smear their character, is the age-old tactic. I\u2019ve been on the receiving end of it, so I know exactly how that feels. And it is so dangerous because it undermines free speech in America. &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On February 1, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/psaki-urges-spotify-to-take-more-action-against-joe-rogan\/\">urged Spotify<\/a> to take further action against Rogan after Spotify <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/spotify-takes-new-action-in-response-to-left-wing-outrage-over-joe-rogan-report\">announced<\/a>&nbsp;it would tag alleged controversial episodes with a new warning label, which Gabbard referenced in her statement.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard tweeted, \u201cI may disagree with what you say, but I\u2019m willing to sacrifice my life to protect your right to say it. The campaign to silence @JoeRogan shines a light on the bigger issue: the power elite will silence anyone who dares challenge or question their power.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I may disagree with what you say, but I\u2019m willing to sacrifice my life to protect your right to say it.

And amid that, he talked about the role social media platforms have, so our hope is that all major tech platforms, and all major news sources for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as COVID-19. That certainly includes Spotify.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So this Disclaimer, it\u2019s a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation and disinformation will also uplifting, accurate information. But ultimately, you know, our view is it\u2019s a, it\u2019s a, it\u2019s a good step. It\u2019s a positive step, but there\u2019s more that can be done.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The next day, asked about the attempts to censor Rogan, Gabbard answered:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>It is yet the latest indicator about the real danger we are facing as a society right now in this country, is that this fundamental freedom guaranteed to every one of us as Americans, this freedom of speech, is being threatened. People are being intimidated, their financial security is being threatened. They are being censored or being intimidated into censoring themselves. This freedom is the fabric of our Constitution, and the fact that this is what we are facing, that the powers that be decide if we don\u2019t like the things that you are saying then we will find a way to silence you and censor you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This is something that every single American should be afraid of because we need to have the confidence in America that we can express ourselves, that we have the freedom to speak without the threat of punishment looming over us. That right there is literally the difference between living in a democracy or living in a dictatorship.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
