The video-sharing platform Rumble on Sept. 20 condemned a letter from a UK parliamentary committee that raised concerns about the presence of Russell Brand on its platform as the British actor and comic faces allegations of rape and sexual assault.

In a strongly worded response to the letter from Dame Caroline Dinenage, chairwoman of the UK Parliament’s Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, Rumble asserted its commitment to free speech and independence from cancel culture.
