Russell Brand gets censored by YouTube, the comedian begins new show at Rumble

Fox News reported on Wednesday, “Comedian and commentator Russell Brand called out YouTube Tuesday for punishing individuals for getting COVID facts wrong, when he feels ‘there’s mainstream media misinformation up all the time.”

“We have been officially censored by YouTube,’ Brand declared in a video he shared on Twitter. ‘They took down one of our videos for misinformation, but why are big media organizations not censored for misinformation in the same way? Is it because YouTube are part of the mainstream media now?”

The report continued, “Brand made a case that while he apologized for getting information wrong in a past video, news corporations like MSNBC are permitted to spread misinformation without apparent consequence.

‘We made an error, in my opinion a relatively small error, and we’re being penalized! For me that looks like censorship, and the reason I think it looks like censorship is because there’s mainstream media misinformation up all the time,’ he said.”

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald has been hired by Rumble to attract high profile influencers like Brand and has commented on the platform’s significant growth.

People still don’t grasp how much Rumble’s audience size has exploded. And the more repressive and censorship-mad Google’s YouTube gets, the more free speech platforms will grow.

The first of these new live Rumble shows to launch will be Russell Brand’s tomorrow at noon ET. Russell built one of the largest YouTube audiences: in the millions, far more than CNN/MSNBC. That’s why YouTube banned him. I’ll be on the debut show. Watch:https://t.co/S2aRd7liAs

I have been BANNED by YouTube

I haven’t lied. I haven’t used expletives. I haven’t spread misinformation.

I have only told the truth about what our government seeks to do to us, curtailing our most basic liberties, using the COVID-19 pandemic as their excuse.

So let me repeat: We must reject any new lockdowns. We must defy any new arbitrary mandates. They didn’t work the first time and we shouldn’t tolerate them again.

It is time for us to resist.

It appears YouTube has now banned me for seven days for telling the truth. Don’t expect to see Anthony Fauci or any other government official get the same treatment from YouTube, even though so many of their recommendations are anti-science and therefore detrimental to our nation’s health, both physical and mental.

Censorship by YouTube is very dangerous as it stifles debate and promotes groupthink where the ‘truth’ is defined by people with a political agenda.

So in the meantime, I encourage everyone to visit my Rumble channel instead, where I will not be censored. News will not be censored at Rumble.

In a free society, truth should never be censored. If only YouTube agreed.
