The “free speech” website that hosts Russell Brand could be forced out of the UK under new online safety laws, experts have said.
Rumble, a video-sharing platform based in North America, has become home to Brand and other figures with extreme views, including Andrew Tate and Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist.
It also hosts extreme videos on race and antisemitism that mainstream platforms such as YouTube have made more of an effort to take down.
Rumble has been thrust into the spotlight after Brand used it to declare his innocence of sexual assault claims.
Under the Online Safety Bill, which is due to become law next month, Rumble will be regulated by Ofcom because it is accessible in the UK.
