The politics of social media were the topic of discussion in The Joe Rogan Experience’s episode 1920. Everyone saw the controversy that surrounded celebrities’ social media accounts. Several people were shadow-banned for various reasons. Twitter and Instagram removed many of them for expressing their political views in public. In the episode, Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy both discussed their negative social media experiences, despite having a significant amount of followers.

Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy on the politics of social media

Portnoy discussed how he faced abuse on Twitter for speaking out against repression in social media. He discussed how unfair it is to silence people’s voices on social media. Portnoy acknowledges that he suffered abuse for speaking out against the control the authorities put over people’s freedom of expression. Elon Musk seized control of his Twitter account, and when he felt like he was being silenced, he spoke outright about how startled he was. It surprised him, though, that so few people seemed to care about the numerous issues he faced on his Twitter account. After listening to Portnoy, Joe Rogan revealed that he was aware of what was happening to his Instagram account.

Rogan said “Yeah,  I don’t complain about that sh*t, but I’m definitely aware, my Instagram used to move way quicker. Then something happened a while back, where its slow down by a significant margin, the amount of growth and I’m like; how do you complain when you have 16 million followers? Like do you really complain that somehow another suppressed or am I really suppressed? Or maybe it’s because I’m not doing reels.”

Here, Rogan explains why, in his opinion, something is wrong with his Instagram account, possibly as a result of the shadow ban. When you are kept in the dark, it is difficult to describe what it is.

Rogan wishes for a logical answer

 The American commentator claims that he has no understanding of what is happening. He would like a reasoned response. Not just regular people, but even celebrities are not aware of many actions taken against them on social media. Some issues can be blamed on algorithms and social media companies. Dave continued the conversation by pointing out the important role played by the government in the repression of social media accounts.

 In the later part of the conversation, Rogan explained why he believes that the government has complete control over social media platforms. The current trend seen is that if people feel some celebrity is being offensive on social media, they can be easily pushed down. The public can only hope that their favorite UFC athletes and those connected to it make wise use of their social media accounts and avoid falling prey to the shadowban!
