Iconic UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan is one of the biggest internet personalities in the world. He has amassed a large fan following with his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. His discussions with celebrity guests often go viral on YouTube and other social media sites.

Rogan is one big supporter of the right to express yourself freely and strongly opposes censorship of any kind. Recently, the microblogging platform Twitter is under scrutiny regarding the same. This comes after Elon Musk attempted to bid to purchase the platform for $43 billion.

In an old episode of his podcast, Rogan invited the then Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and safety lead director and chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde along with YouTuber Tim Pool. They discussed and dissected Twitter’s rules and their violations.

Rogan scrutinized Twitter for being partial in its approach in front of arguably the most important people in the company.

Rogan said, “Well she was banned permanently but let’s be clear about what happened. Could you explain to me what did she actually do?”

Joe Rogan reminded Dorsey and Gadde of incidents where the organization has specifically gagged the voice of one side of the spectrum.

He added, “In this case of Megan Murphy, it does not make sense to me. That seems like she should be allowed to express herself.”
