It's after Neil Young launched a protest, over virus misinformation on the streaming services.
Spotify removed his music from the platform last week instead of an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience", which as been criticised by health professionals.
Around 270 medical experts signed an open letter to the streaming giant, criticising it for promoting "baseless conspiracy theories" surrounding covid.

"Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives," Mitchell said.
