In a bold move against YouTube’s content censorship, Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion, has taken the gloves off. Tyson’s “Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson” posted an interview with US Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Rumble, a growing video-sharing platform that respects free speech, after tech giant YouTube removed the original video.
Context: YouTube took down a podcast interview between Tyson and Kennedy that had been on the platform since 2020. The takedown happened this month and was noticed by video journalist Matt Orfalea. Additionally, another interview featuring Kennedy, this time with comedian Theo Von, vanished from YouTube around the same period.
