Russell Brand's Rumble to go offline? Here's what report claims
Russell Brand's 'refuge' platform, Rumble, faces the possibility of going offline due to impending safety regulations. This «free speech» website, which the comedian uses to host his videos, could potentially be compelled to cease its operations in the United Kingdom, according to a report. Rumble, a Canada-based platform, has come under scrutiny for its association with Russell Brand, who has been utilizing it to share videos while facing allegations of rape and sexual assault. Over the past year, Brand has been consistently uploading daily episodes of his «Stay Free» program on Rumble, following a partnership agreement, as per a report in The Sun. The stringent new regulations may compel Rumble's leadership to consider discontinuing its services in Britain, as suggested by a technology expert. Former Facebook executive Lord Allan of Hallam expressed his belief to The Times that this heightened regulatory environment might discourage Rumble's management from continuing operations in the UK, The Sun reported. Brand has a presence on Rumble, a video site popular with some conservatives and far-right groups, where his channel has 1.6 million followers. The site has been criticized for allowing— and at times promoting — disinformation and conspiracy theories, AP reported. Brand hosted a new broadcast on Rumble on Monday, saying the platform had made a “clear commitment to free speech."

YouTube cuts off Russell Brand's ad revenues after sexual assault allegations
YouTube said on Tuesday it had blocked Russell Brand from making money from his online channel after the British actor and comedian was accused of a string of sexual assaults. Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile comedians and broadcasters, said on Saturday he had never had non-consensual sex. That came as the Sunday Times newspaper and Channel 4 TV's documentary show «Dispatches» reported that four women had accused the 48-year-old of sexual assaults, including a rape, between 2006 and 2013. London police said on Monday that since then they had received an allegation of sexual assault dating from 2003. Brand, the former husband of U.S. singer Katy Perry, has repositioned himself in recent years to build a more than 6 million-strong following to his YouTube channel. Recent videos included an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and discussions on everything from COVID to UFOs, censorship and wellbeing. YouTube, owned by Google parent Alphabet Inc, said it had suspended monetisation on Brand's channel after he violated its creator responsibility policy. «If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community,» a YouTube spokesperson said. Brand issued a video message on social media on Saturday to deny the «very serious criminal allegations» hours before they were published. «These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.
