Anti-cancel culture platforms Rumble and Locals combine to take on Big Tech

Two major alternative social media platforms focused on free speech and data portability, YouTube rival Rumble and content subscription service Locals, will combine forces Tuesday to provide online users a new way to interact and make money without fear of being canceled.

Popular commentators affiliated with Rumble, including Dan Bongino and Glenn Greenwald, will be joining Locals, adding to other prominent content creators already on the platform, such as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, cartoonist and creator of the Dilbert comic strip Scott Adams, and media personality Dr. Drew.

Locals has over 1 million active users, while Rumble has over 40 million.
