Rumble defends allowing Russell Brand to continue to make money on video platform after YouTube ad ban

The i newspaper says Video platform Rumble has defended Russell Brand’s right to make money from content it publishes while he is facing rape and sexual assault allegations.

The anti-censorship platform rejected a request from Culture, Media and Sport Committee chair Dame Caroline Dinenage for information on whether the comedian, 48, can profit from content aired on Rumble, where he has 1.4 million followers and hosts a regular show.

She has also written to X, formerly known as Twitter, asking if owner Elon Musk “personally intervened in any decisions on Russell Brand’s status on the platform” after the billionaire backed Mr Brand.
