A parliamentary committee chair is facing criticism after she wrote to social media platforms and GB News over their defence of the monetisation of Russell Brand, who was accused of rape but hasn’t been charged with any crime.
Mr. Brand, 48, a prominent comedian, actor, TV presenter, and political commentator, who has over 6.6 million subscribers to his main YouTube channel, was demonetised by the video platform following the allegations, which he denied. It was estimated that he could have been earning around £1 million ($1.24 million) a year on YouTube.
