Rumble refuses to demonetize Russell Brand after receiving pressures by the UK Government

dailycaller.com...

Rumble's CEO Chris Pavlovski responded to a letter from a committee chair in the United Kingdom parliament, who asked if Russell Brand will be able to make money on his platform following explosive accusations of sexual impropriety against Brand, according to a statement posted to Rumble’s Twitter.

Clearly the UK Government is very concerned whether Russell Brand will be able to monetize his content on Rumble and had the audacity to ask the platform what is going to happen now after Brand has been demonetized on YouTube hoping that Rumble will join YouTube and do the same thing!!

Pavlovski responsed to a letter by Caroline Dinenage, the U.K.’s Chair of Culture, Media and Sports Committee, sent him.

Part of the letter can be found directly from the article and the whole of the letter is linked in the original article.

Here is part of the letter sent by Dinenage

While we recognise that Rumble is not the creator of the content published by Mr. Brand, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.

We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr. Brand is able to monetise his content, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him. If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr. Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform.

Clear interference by the British Government asking and pressuring Rumble to suspend Russell Brand's ability to earn money from the videos he's making on the platform. We can guess the same thing has happened on YouTube although YouTube itself doesn't need external pressures to do what it does best.


Here is the response by CEO Chris Pavlovski of Rumble

Today we received an extremely disturbing letter from a committee chair in the UK Parliament

While Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault, rape, and all serious crimes, and believes that both alleged victims and the accused are entitled to a full and serious investigation, it is vital to note that recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with content on Rumble’s platform.

Just yesterday, YouTube announced that, based solely on these media accusations, it was baring Mr Brand from monetizing his video content. Rumble stands for very different values. We have devoted ourselves to the vital cause of defending a free internet - meaning an internet where no one arbitrarily dictates which ideas can or cannot be heard, or which citizens may or may not be entitled to a platform.

We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so. Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble. We don’t agree with the behaviour of many Rumble creators, but we refuse to penalize them for actions that have nothing to do with our platform.

Although it may be politically and socially easier for Rumble to join a cancel culture mob, doing so would be a violation of our company's values ​​and mission. We emphatically reject the U.K. Parliament’s demands

The CEO of Rumble Chris Pavlovski is an absolute legend!!!

Good for Rumble.

This sh!t is ridiculous. The UK just sent a letter to TikTok asking if Brand is still monetized on their platform.

A guy who is still innocent until proven guilty. Meanwhile the Taliban, CCP, and PLA are free to push any BS they want.

The letter sent by the CEO of Rumble Chris Pavlovski should be sent to all Schools in the UK.

This is how companies and organisations should react to pressures by the Government to censor and cancel individuals.

For once more, he is an absolute legend!!!

Also, it seems like the leftists and globalists are a lot more concerned with Brand than the Epstein client list.

British government demands social media platforms to demonetize Russell Brand, Rumble refuses to comply.

The British actor and podcaster was accused of abuse and rape, which is why YouTube has already removed his program from its platform.

So...in the UK it's guilty until proven innocent? Kind of like current policy in the US?

Innocent Until Proven Guilty by Overwhelming Evidence in a Court of Law is STILL the Norm . Hearsay and Innuendo Do Not Mean Sheet . DEMAND Your Accusers Step Forward Russell , or just Ignore their Politically Motivated LIES.................

Good for Rumble. If all it took was an accusation…why hasn’t most everyone In Hollywood and the majority of politicians been demonetized. What about Bill Gates and his Bridge player?

They only make their own decadence more obvious when they go after those brave enough to shine a light on it.

You may want to ask the same questions to a number of members here who were eager to find Brand guilty as charged in the court of public opinion and in the media when at the same time had no issue with Brand's demonetization on YouTube. You see some of those who have strong left wing views have already made up their minds and apart from encouraging censorship at all levels they seem to think you're guilty until proven innocent.

…And I approve this message. Siskel and Ebert give Rumble

The UK tried to f# with the US before and it didn't end well for them.

I guess you're just guilty until proven innocent now?

What a joke.

According to the new norm then yes you are guilty until proven innocent in the court of public opinion shaped by media trials and the woke mob.

Great justice!

The problem I'm seeing is that the UK is falling into line with the same far left agenda the US is contending with...

If you can think, you're on the list. If you speak, your with them or against them.
If you speak out of line, you'll be targeted and destroyed.

Meanwhile if you get powerful, you and your family are above the law as long as you never speak against the party.

Seems to me the world was getting ready for a third party crusade, but the education system took a hard left in the 90s giving us two generations of commie socialists thinking they can just seize the means of production and live happily ever after without doing any producing.

Textbook definition of Government censorship!

But the letter by the CEO of Rumble should be taught in schools and universities. What an absolute legend!!!

That's precisely how you answer to the Government trying to pressure companies to censor and silence individuals.
