Spotify's plan to add a content advisory to any discussion of Covid-19 on its platform is a positive step, but tech platforms should do more to prevent the spread of misinformation on the coronavirus, the White House said on Tuesday.
"Our hope is all major tech platforms and all major news sources for that matter be responsible and be vigilant to ensure that the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as Covid-19", White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters in a briefing.
"This disclaimer - it's a positive step, but we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation."
US podcaster Joe Rogan apologised on Sunday and pledged more balance on his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, amid a backlash against Covid misinformation on the streaming service that wiped more than $2 billion off its market value last week.
Spotify shares have risen 18.23 per cent since Rogan apologised and Citigroup gave it a "buy" rating.
