Streaming platform Rumble responds to UK Parliament request to \u201cpenalize\u201d Russell Brand YouTube: Russell Brand\/RumbleRumble\u2019s CEO has explained why Russell Brand will not be demonetized following the sexual assault allegations made against him in a bid to protect \u201cconstitutional values\u201d. Russell Brand has been accused of sexual assault, rape, and emotional abuse by four women, with the allegations dating back to between 2006 and 2013. With an explosive documentary titled Russell Brand: In Plain Sight diving into the victims\u2019 stories, Brand has seemingly tried to manage the situation by using conspiracy politics to dismiss the investigation against him. YouTube has since demonetized the actor\u2019s channel to \u201cprotect the community\u201d amid the ongoing inquiries, meaning Brand will no longer be able to make money from any adverts played on his content. Now, Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski has revealed the UK Parliament reached out and asked whether Rumble would be willing to do the same. But Rumble has refused, Pavlovski insisting the company will \u201cdefend what\u2019s right\u201d. In an open letter shared on Twitter, Rumble responded to the Parliament by writing, \u201cWhile Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault, rape, and all serious crimes\u2026 it is vital to note that recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with content on Rumble\u2019s platform.\u201d Stating that the company stands for \u201cvery different values\u201d compared to YouTube, the letter continued; \u201cWe have devoted ourselves to the vital cause of defending a free internet \u2014 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.\u201d Rumble also called the UK Parliament\u2019s request \u201cdeeply inappropriate and dangerous\u201d, concluding with an \u2018empathetic rejection\u2019 that the company would not be joining in on \u201ccancel culture\u201d. Many were in support of Rumble\u2019s stance and protection of \u201cconstitutional rights\u201d, with one person writing, \u201cIt\u2019s refreshing to see a company stand up for what is right and fair.\u201d Another said, \u201cThank you, Chris. You are a huge part of the Information War and America owes you a huge thank you for allowing Rumble to be the place for Free Speech.\u201d Check out all the latest TV and movie news on our page here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
