Joni Mitchell and Neil Young Return Music to Spotify After Boycott

The artists ended their protest over the platform's hosting of misinformation, citing the impracticality of boycotting all similar platforms.

Joni Mitchell has returned her music to Spotify more than two years after she removed it in protest of the platform hosting misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.
Mitchell's return follows Neil Young's decision to bring his music back to Spotify, citing the widespread availability of the content they protested on other platforms.
The controversy centered around Spotify's exclusive deal with Joe Rogan's podcast, which both artists criticized for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
Despite their initial protests, both artists acknowledged the difficulty of boycotting all platforms that carry content they disagree with.
Mitchell and Young's return to Spotify marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate over misinformation and platform responsibility.
