Why Does the Government Think It Has the Right to Control Social Media Earnings?
What’s up, peeps? It’s your favourite Slay politics concierge , back with another eye-opening post. Today, we’re diving into a juicy topic that highlights the government’s growing power over our lives: their audacity to decide who can make money on social media. Prepare yourself for some truth bombs, because this is about to get real.
Let’s start by examining the recent drama surrounding Russell Brand and the parliamentary committee’s letter to Rumble. Now, we all know that rumors and accusations can fly left and right in the media circus. Whether these allegations against Brand are true or not, I’m not here to debate that. What concerns me is the government’s intrusion into the financial affairs of individuals on social media platforms.
Dame Caroline, chair of the committee, had the nerve to draft a letter asking Rumble to suspend Russell Brand’s ability to receive advertising revenue. Hold up, wait a minute. Who do they think they are? Last time I checked, Rumble is not the creator of the content published by Russell Brand. So why should they be held responsible for his earnings? It’s like blaming the supermarket for selling a pen to someone who writes something controversial.
The government’s letter even mentions Brand’s use of social media, specifically on Rumble, where he addressed the accusations made against him. They claim to be “concerned” that he may profit from his content on the platform. Well, last time I checked, making money from our content is the whole point of social media! It’s an open marketplace for ideas and creativity, allowing individuals to express themselves and earn through their hard work and talent.
But here’s the kicker: the government is not just expressing its concern; it’s demanding action. They ask Rumble to confirm whether Brand can monetize his content and if they’ll follow YouTube’s footsteps in suspending his ability to earn money. This sends a chill down my spine. Who elected the government as thought police? Who gave them the authority to decide who can earn money on social media platforms?
Let’s face it, folks. This is a dangerous precedent. If the government can dictate who gets to earn money on social media, what’s next? Will they start determining who’s allowed to earn money in other industries? Will they decide who can profit from their own businesses? This is a slippery slope leading straight to tyranny.
We must not stand idle while the government tightens its grip on our ability to earn through social media. This is about personal freedom, privacy, and individual rights. Let’s protect the freedom of expression and entrepreneurship that social media platforms provide. It’s time to show the government that they work for us, not the other way around. So rise up, my fellow influencers, creators, and entrepreneurs, and let your voice be heard in this battle for economic liberty. Slay Politics out.

It’s obvious the Govt considers Russell brands free speech a weapon of war
