Rumble's Response to the UK Parliament's Letter to Our CEO By Richard Miller (London)

The UK Parliament wants to cancel Russell Brand over the allegations, not conviction – no charges have been laid – of sexual abuse. YouTube, quick as a flash,  demonetarised him, but Rumble to their credit stood firm against the UK Parliament wanting to do the same. Here is part of the letter which is an uplifting support of free speech. Brand needs to move to Rumble, as does everyone serious about free speech.

“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,” the statement from Rumble said. “We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.

“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 the content on Rumble’s platform,” read the statement.

“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.”
