YouTube suspended Brand’s ability to earn money on its platform on Tuesday but Rumble has rejected calls to do the same. On Friday, Brand said the moves to block him from receiving advertising revenue for his videos on social media platforms have occurred “in the context of the online safety bill”.
Huh.
The Times estimates that Brand earns £27,000 a month from his Rumble channel and £1m a year from YouTube before ads were suspended. His literary agent, tour promoter and book publisher have also dropped him.
It's theft, pure and simple.
The Times writes:
Rumble, a Florida-based company, prides itself on hosting those with extreme views who have been excluded from “mainstream” platforms.
It seems that these fake media companies did not contact the advertisers, but that this was done by an organization called 'The News Movement'. It barely has an online footprint. It has 31,000 followers on Instagram, a similar number of Youtube subscribers, and barely any views at all. Seems like an astroturfing operation.
And it turns out that, yes, these pieces of shit have been contacting advertisers to threaten them:
Massive brands including @burgerking, @asos, London’s @barbicancentre and @hellofresh have pulled advertising from Russell Brand’s Rumble channel, The News Movement can reveal.
Three of the companies have removed their ads from Rumble altogether after The News Movement found that they were appearing alongside Brand’s videos.
Basically, everything else they're posting is BS - from Erdogan complaining about LGBTP, a girl being suspended for her hair, and some idiot football player complaining about different teams by gender.
It's not the "News Movement" - it was the UK Government that did it. This is not "collusion", this is illegal government censorship by an out of control totalitarian government.
Look, If Brand is tried and convicted THEN you can deperson him - but all we have now is cackling hen gossip and accusations that would make the witches of the Crucible blush.
These evil regimes need to be overturned and our rights and liberties restored.
Look, If Brand is tried and convicted THEN you can deperson him
I mean if you're talking about totalitarian governments, historically they've not been shy of kangaroo courts and show trials. So even them it probably isn't universally justifiable.
Huh.

Right - but at least have the PRETENSE instead of depersoning him on mere accusations alone.
Witchhunts are still just that...
That requires work, which modern communists are averse to.
