The French Government has demanded that Rumble ( @rumblevideo ) block Russian news sources. Like @elonmusk , I won't move our goal posts for any foreign government.
Rumble will turn off France entirely (France isn't material to us) and we will challenge the legality of this demand.
LMAO !
THAT is the way you deal with @holes.

Think how important this story is. France, like all EU states, *legally barred* any platform from airing RT or other Russian outlets even if those platforms with to. It’s legally required to censor it.
France demanded Rumble obey, if though Rumble isn’t a French company....

Rather than obey France’s censorship order, Rumble turned its services off for France and will sue. If French people are happy being blocked from information Macron and EU want to ban, good for them.
But France should have no right to impose its censorship laws on the world.
LOVE IT!!!!
Time to call the bully’s bluff.
They have no power over anyone if people don’t wield it to them.
Good!
intertesting....

UPDATE: Thank you Starlink & Elon Musk for making free speech stronger. Rumble Cloud has officially begun peering with Starlink, meaning users of both Starlink and Rumble around the world will have less risk of censorship.

Rumble is now Beta testing it’s own Google ad sense clone for 3rd party websites .. Truth Social is their first Customer
VERY interesting. I know there were things floating around about them partnering but didn’t realize they did.
Excellent .. thanks for that!
Bwahahaha!
The thing is that at least the English language version of RT is closer to an aggregator of news, rather than a source. They do a few things, like actually report on what is going on in Russia, particularly what the government there is saying, as opposed to what the Neocons on CNN are saying about the Russians. They’re also quite good at aggregating stories showing the PURE IDIOCY of the West, whether it’s Lea Thomas, or the UK blowing up more coal power plants.
They also try to report in an unbiased way, so instead of saying “Trump’s false claims of election fraud”, as the Neocon-controlled news outlets like CNN say, they’ll simply say “Trump’s claims of election fraud”...and let the reader decide if they’re false. And they include both sides - if the West disputes something that Russia says, they’ll include the Western reply.
To put it another way, RT is MUCH CLOSER to what the Western Media was during the Cold War, while Western Media, today, is much more like the Soviet Union...right down to SILENCING opposing views.
It would be better not to shut either country down but it’s still funny. Hahaha
Good on Rumble!
True. And the comments on RT let very critical comments about Russia from the peanut gallery stay up.
“True. And the comments on RT let very critical comments about Russia from the peanut gallery stay up.”
Good point...they pretty much let all of the non-bot comments through, but understandably the majority of them are pro-Russian.
Rumble/Locals are the good guys.
Rumble has also built extensive server capacity for cloud storage so they can service other online businesses if Amazon tries to cut them off like they did Parler.
Twitter does not have a video function and needs one....like Periscope used to be. As part of Musk’s drive to make twitter an all-in-one app for payments, video, etc it looks like he and Rumble are partnering up. Rumble could provide Twitter that capability.
Its especially helpful that one of Musk’s other companies - Space X - has Starlink which can be used to reinforce Rumble.
Glenn needs an Editor?
Starlink + Twitter, with Rumble running the BigBit Backroom, sounds like a start for some vertical integration.
TrueDope is unaware of how much he needs to throttle Rumble for his WEF compatriots?
