How about telling a platform that they are associating with someone (who you think) is a bad person doing bad things, and they should stop supporting this (according to you) bad person?
Are we allowed to say that certain people are (at least in our opinion) bad people? Are we allow to do that?
Was telling Coca-Cola that they should stop associating with apartheid in South Africa "censorship"?

Rogan is causing needless pain, suffering, and probably even death by spreading information. I would qualify that as "bad". See also his taking ivermectin, a deworming veterinary drug formulated for use in cows and horses: * https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1033485152/joe-rogan-covid-ivermectin https://www.npr.org/2021/09/01/1033485152/joe-rogan-covid-iv... I'm sure that are some good qualities to Rogan, but what he's doing with respect to COVID is not among them.
