As soon as the UK Government signed its Online Safety Bill into law, they started to contact all Big Tech social media platforms urging them to censor certain UK content creators that were not in alignment with the government’s narrative. Content creators like Russel Brand and David Icke.
At least in the US, the government is trying to censor its citizens covertly, not openly admitting that is what they are doing. Nevertheless, the Biden Administration was caught red-handed in federal court in the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit. It has been proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Biden Administration was colluding with Big Tech companies to censor America’s freedom of speech.

The UK Online Safety Bill
The UK Online Safety Bill has been signed off by the Britain Houses of Parliament and was passed into law on September 19, 2023. This law is a new set of guidelines, with the stated purpose of protecting children and adults online from misinformation. Let’s all ask this commonsense question, “Do adults need to be treated like children, and be protected from information?”
The answer to that question is of course not. The only thing the UK Online Safety Bill is a law to prevent freedom of speech and freedom of the exchange of information. That is the sole purpose of this law. To make it illegal to speak the truth in the UK, or share any information that goes against the government’s official narrative.
To be perfectly honest, as far as children are concerned, it is the parent’s responsibility to control the information a child has access to, certainly not the government.
The UK Online Safety Bill has sweeping surveillance and censorship powers. Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan said, “The Online Safety Bill is a game-changing piece of legislation. Today, this government is taking an enormous step forward in our mission to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online.”
This censorship is truly not new, this has been going on for a while now, however, the UK just turned freedom of speech online into a crime. Very much like George Orwell’s novel 1984; Orwell’s novel 1984 was published in 1949 as a warning against totalitarianism. Nonetheless, this is even worse than what Orwell could ever imagine. Now the UK Government has turned censorship into the law of the land.
UK Government Has Asked Big Tech to Censor and Demonetize
The UK Government has asked Big Tech to censor its citizens who are sharing truthful information that is not in alignment with the government’s lies and propaganda. Most Big Tech companies are willing to comply with the MP’s request, however, not Rumble and other independent video platforms.
Big Tech social media platforms are very willing to comply with the UK Government request, because they were already doing it for the Biden Administration and the World Health Organization (WHO), whose policies are dictated by the Globalist Elites.
Anyone in the US who has been sharing truthful, evidence-based information since the spring of 2020 was censored and banned. Highly reputable doctors and scientists alike. For example, look at what happened to the American Frontline Doctors in the summer of 2020, when they held a press conference in front of the Capitol.
The American Frontline doctors were attacked, as their video and website were taken down within hours. We now know that every word the doctors shared that day was truthful, evidence-based information, that the government did not want the public to know.
It has already been proven in a federal court of law that the Biden Administration colluded with Big Tech to silence the American public and take away their 1st Amendment right to free speech. There are over 1200 pieces of evidence that were exposed during the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit.
Demonetization and Censorship of Russel Brand
Without any criminal charges, without any evidence of a crime, without any due process at all, YouTube demonetized content creator Russel Brand. Brand launched his YouTube channel in January 2007 and has 6.65 million subscribers. With no evidence of wrongdoing, YouTube demonetized his channel. YouTube stated the action taken against Brand was based on anonymous allegations from over a decade ago.
Nevertheless, YouTube has not demonetized convicted criminals’ YouTube channels. Convicted criminals like R. Kelly, who has been convicted of multiple sex crimes, even crimes involving children. The horrific music videos that YouTube allows on its platform are a disgrace.
I say this as a grandmother of a 13-year-old who showed me a music video that should be considered pornography. That video is perfectly permitted on their platform. However, not someone speaking the truth, trying to expose the government’s lies and propaganda.
Rumble’s Response to the UK Government’s Request
The Canadian-founded video platform Rumble rejected the British government’s request to demonetize and censor Brand’s content on its platform.
A British parliamentary committee is trying to stop Brand from being able to monetize his content because of anonymous sexual assault allegations against him from over a decade ago.
Caroline Dinenage, the Conservative chair of the culture, media, and sport committee, wrote to Rumble’s chief executive, Chris Pavlovski, to express concern that Brand “may be able to profit from his content on the platform”.
Rumble characterized the request from the chair of the House of Commons media committee as “extremely disturbing” and said it wouldn’t “join a cancel-culture mob.”
Rumble posted in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so… Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble.”
David Icke Banned from 26 European Countries
David Icke has never been arrested or even charged with a crime. Yet still he is banned from traveling to and speaking in 26 European countries and Australia. How absurd is that?
On Tuesday, September 25, 2023, a Dutch court upheld an earlier decision to ban Icke from entering the Schengen Area, 26 European countries. State Secretary Eric van der Burg imposed a two-year ban on Icke shortly before he was scheduled to speak at a Peace Rally on Dam Square in Amsterdam in November 2022.
The decision for the entry ban was based solely on Icke’s writings and speeches. Basically, it states that Icke does not have the right to free speech. That is the only reason why he is banned. Also, if he does not change his views he may be banned indefinitely.
There has not been one word in the media about Icke’s possible indefinite ban from 26 European countries. Along with the fact that when Icke had approximately 1 million subscribers on YouTube, he was demonetized in 2018 and then deleted completely in April 2020. Icke has been banned from all Big Tech social media platforms purely for just speaking and sharing his truth.
