Jeremy Clarkson has weighed in on recent discussions concerning Spotify's decision not to back down from giving the likes of Joe Rogan a platform to share their views on matters concerning the Covid vaccine.The streaming giant has been under heavy scrutiny in the past few weeks, with artists such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell having pulled their discography from the platform.Among many other musicians, the pair were left disappointed upon seeing Spotify defend Joe, who some say has used his Joe Rogan Podcast to spread misinformation about the Covid vaccine.In a statement last week, Spotify boss Daniel Ek said: "If we want even a shot at achieving our bold ambitions, it will mean having content on Spotify that many of us may not be proud to be associated with."Not anything goes, but there will be opinions, ideas, and beliefs that we disagree with strongly and even makes us angry or sad."American actress Sharon Stone has since weighed in with her thoughts on the matter as she deemed Joe to be "dangerous" and "risking people's lives with his idiocy" for how he has spoken about Covid on his podcast. "I just want to say COVID is not an opinion-based situation, and Mr Rogan thinking that his opinion or a disclaimer for the lives that he personally has affected and caused losses of, it's not an opinion," she told a TMZ cameraman in LA last week."Mr Rogan is risking people's lives with his idiocy and his professing that his thoughts about COVID are opinions, they aren't opinions."And while Jeremy is very much for the idea of giving people the right to express their thoughts and feelings whichever way they see fit, in his latest column for The Sun, the TV personality couldn't help but to agree with Sharon. "Sharon Stone has
