The U.K. government is questioning social media companies about whether Russell Brand is able to monetize his content on their sites, sparking accusations of overreach.
A similar letter was sent to video platform Rumble—which has emphatically rejected the right of the government to ask such questions.
And, writes Dinenage,"If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand's ability to earn money on the platform." "We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so," it says in a"Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble."
