Rumble completely left the French market rather than comply with government demands. Can't remember specifics, may have been over demands to censor RT. Though France was a very small slice of their marketshare.
The problem would be that for Ofcom & Starmer, Rumble refusing to comply by pulling out of the larger UK market would still be a win.
I don't think Ofcom or the Government would care. Particularly after their platforming of Russell Brand. If anything, they seem quite intent on declaring the introduction of user generated content a mistake and one to revert promptly. Likely via a national Intranet for the masses regulated, controlled and licensed by the Government. As long as the masses have access to Netflix, live sport, commerce and so forth, they won't protest.
