Rumble, the online video platform, is refusing to cave after British politicians pressured the company to demonetize Russell Brand.
After YouTube demonetized Brand over allegations of sexual assault, Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski received a letter from the British House of Commons' Culture, Media, and Sport Committee.
In that letter, chairwoman Caroline Dinenage problematized the fact that Brand issued a "preemptive response" to the allegations on Rumble, explaining her committee is concerned that Brand may be able to profit from Rumble, where his account boasts more than 1.4 million subscribers.
