During the episode, Martin talks about “big tech” and the ability for companies to “censor what we see on social media.” Approximately 90 minutes into the episode, she asks Rogan if he thinks he’s being watched, and he said he assumes his emails were being monitored.

“Have you seen the new thing about SMS text messages?," Rogan said. "To stop COVID vaccine misinformation... they are monitoring SMS texts for dangerous misinformation about COVID vaccines.”
