While this is a positive thing to be cheered on, the consequences of Rumble standing up to the Government is that the second the Online Safety Bill becomes law, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport with Ofcom as regulator, will ban Rumble and require all ISPs and VPNs to block access or face ruinous consequences themselves for their failure to do what Government demands of them as a service accessible in the UK. The alternative would be for Rumble to pull service from UK content creators and viewers.
Considering this stance, maybe we now know who plied pressure on the BBC to ply pressure on YouTube to get Brand demonetised/cancelled from that platform?
That'd probably get the bill revoked being honest, EVERY media site like YouTube, Rumble even Facebook has more power than the current UK government
They're only doing it because they want to do it themselves abd using the UK as an excuse. If they didn't want to do it, they'd shut services leaving MASSIVE backlash from the normies in the UK unable to watch their videos abd quick submission from the government.
MPs believe that everyone watches the BBC, Netflix and YouTube. Organisations and companies who will bend over backwards for whatever the Government demands of them. As far as MPs are concerned, Rumble is an alternative platform that they won't shed a tear banning. If anything, they probably consider it one of the primary avenues for "harmful" content they seem intent on getting rid of. We know different but does society as whole?
In reality not the first two but definitely the last. But that depends on how long the content stay on there. If YouTube is successful in sanitising itself, the creators will leave and make new platforms or use alternatives as it's too easy to do nowadays.
Sure you'll have the slow adoption of, ironically, the normie zoomers but if the ones making entertainment leave, like Hollywood, the viewers will eventually follow.
