One company said: 'It goes without saying that we would not be happy to be featured on Russell Brand’s videos'
Rumble responded: “We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so,” and that therefore, “we emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.”
“While Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault, rape, and all serious crimes, and believes that both alleged victims and the accused are entitled to a full and serious investigation, it is vital to note that recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with the content on Rumble’s platform,” the company said.
In multiple telephone conversations with advertisers, some said they were unaware that their ads were appearing on Rumble, let alone on Mr Brand’s videos, as they are largely placed by third-party ad-buying agencies, and only became aware when approached byfor comment. The placing of online adverts is notoriously complicated, with varying levels of controls that advertisers can exert over where exactly their product is featured.
While Rumble continues to refrain from commenting on whether it will continue to host Mr Brand, several of its content creators, including Glenn Greenwald and Shaun Attwood, have published videos asking questions about certain elements of the accusations against Mr Brand. Andrew Tate appeared to offer support to Mr Brand on X, formerly known as Twitter, by posting to the comedian, “welcome to the club”.
