Free-speech friendly video streaming service Rumble has purchased social media platform Locals. The announcement came on Tuesday. Locals, founded by podcaster and author Dave Rubin in 2019, is a subscription based social media company.
Rumble is an independent video service where users can upload their content without the worry of being censored that comes with the use of sites like YouTube or Facebook.
"We are building the rails to a new tech ecosystem that will responsibly free everyone from the restraints of editorial control," Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said, according to local news.

BREAKING: Era of Big Tech Over? Big Threat to Tech Monopoly Emerges

Interesting
things are lining up nicely
Bttt
I read somewhere else that this would enable them to monetize content.
I just hope it won’t be a bunch of subscription based services. $5/mth for this person, $5/mth for another person and so on. Pretty soon your at $100/mth.
If they can monetize content and pay for it with advertising that would be a good thing
I give Rumble a year after Trump launches. Who remembers MySpace?

Super excited to join the same team as
@LevAssaf
and
@RubinReport
in our fight to keeping the internet free and open, as it was intended. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
This is the first of many big announcements for Rumble. We will continue to surprise in the months ahead.
I just watched Dave Rubin’s discussion about this. Full disclosure, I’m a member of a Locals community and I have been watching Rumble for over a year.
This is good news. These are some of the good guys fighting back against the Big Tech monopolies. Them teaming up strengthens both. Just like GETTR and Trump’s new online venture, we need more alternatives to the Big Tech cartel.
With True-dolt’s new internet censorship law being readied for roll out, Rumble had better get to FL ASAP. ( Bring me too, please!)
