Rumble sues Kalifornia for unlawfully censoring free speech!
SACRAMENTO, Kalifornia (PNN) - November 30, 2024 - Video streaming site Rumble has filed a lawsuit against the State of Kalifornia in response to legislation forcing social media platforms to censor political speech.
Rumble is being represented by The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which filed suit against AB 2655, aka the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, in the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) District Court for the Eastern District of Kalifornia, Sacramento Division.
The legislation is fascist Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s response to a deepfake satire video of Kamala Harris that was shared on X by Elon Musk among others.
ADF stated in a press release that the law “deputizes” Rumble to restrict its user’s free speech, while another law, AB 2839, Protecting Democracy Against Election Disinformation and Deepfakes, uses vague standards to punish individuals posting political content about elections.
“Kalifornia’s war against political speech is censorship, plain and simple. We can’t trust the government to decide what is true in our online political debates,” said ADF Senior Counsel Phil Sechler.
“Rumble is one of the few online voices stepping up against this trend of censorship while other platforms and sites cave to totalitarian regimes censoring Amerikans,” Sechler further urged.
He added, “Rumble is standing for free speech even when it is hard. Other online platforms and media companies must see these laws for what they are - a threat to their existence.”
Chris Pavlovski, Chairman and CEO of Rumble, further urged that “The very thought of the government judging the content of political speech, and then deciding whether it should be permitted, censored or eliminated altogether is about the most chilling thing you could imagine.”
“Rumble will always celebrate freedom and support creative independence, so we’re delighted to work with ADF to help protect lawful online expression,” Pavlovski asserted.
The Democrat Party is pushing hard to enact invalid laws that unlawfully force censorship, in direct violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. In other words, Communist Democrat criminals are seeking to further break the law.
As both Hillary and Bill Clinton have noted, this is a response to them losing “total control” over the free flow of information.
