The CEO of Rumble has explained why Russell Brand will not be stripped of his monetization rights following sexual assault allegations against him in order to protect “constitutional values.”
Russell Brand has been accused by four women of sexual assault, rape and emotional abuse, with the allegations dating from 2006 to 2013.
With an explosive documentary titled Russell Brand: In Plain Sight that delves into the victims’ stories, Brand appears to have attempted to manage the situation by using conspiracy politics to overrule the investigation. investigation against him.
YouTube has since disabled the actor’s channel’s monetization to “protect the community” amid ongoing inquiries, meaning Brand will not be able to monetize any ads that air on His content too.
Now, Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski has revealed that the British Parliament has reached out and asked if Rumble would be willing to do the same. But Rumble refused, with Pavlovski insisting the company would “defend what is right.”
In an open letter shared on Twitter, Rumble responded to Parliament by writing: “While Rumble clearly deplores sexual assault, rape and all serious crimes… this It’s important to note that the recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with the content on Rumble’s platform.”
Stating that the company represents “very different values” than YouTube, the letter continues; “We have dedicated ourselves to the important cause of championing a free Internet — that is, an Internet where no one arbitrarily dictates what ideas can and cannot be heard, or what which people may or may not enjoy a foundation.”
Rumble also called the UK Parliament’s request “deeply inappropriate and dangerous,” concluding with an “empathetic refusal” that the company would not engage in “cancel culture.”
The Rumble Local, Media and Culture Committee has been asked by the House of Commons to confirm whether Brand can monetize content.
Many people supported Rumble’s stance and defended “constitutional rights,” with one person writing, “It’s refreshing to see a company standing up for what’s right and fair.”
Another said: “Thanks Chris. You are an important part of the Information War and America owes you a huge thank you for allowing Rumble to be a place of Free Speech.”
