    The video-sharing platform Rumble and a constitutional law scholar are among those suing New York over the state’s new “Online Hate Speech Law,” claiming the law’s language is so broad it could put bloggers at risk of financial ruin merely for sharing opinions the state disfavors.

    The nonprofit Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) last week filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of three plaintiffs: online video-sharing platform Rumble, its “Locals” subscription platform and First Amendment scholar Eugene Volokh, publisher of “The Volokh Conspiracy” blog.
