Rumble boss says he 'departed' from Europe after Telegram CEO arrest (English)



The founder and CEO of Rumble — a YouTube alternative billing itself as “immune to cancel culture” — says he has “departed” from Europe after the arrest of encrypted messaging app Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.

“I’ve just safely departed from Europe,” Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian national, posted to X on Sunday, Aug. 25.

He claimed France had “threatened Rumble” and had “crossed a red line” by arresting Telegram’s Pavel Durov. In November 2022, Rumble blocked access to French users, claiming the country’s government asked it to remove “certain Russian news sources,” which it said it would legally challenge.

In May, Pavlovski also claimed Russia blocked Rumble because it “refused to comply with their censorship demands.”

"We are currently fighting in the courts of France, and we hope for Pavel Durov’s immediate release,” Pavlovski wrote.

He did not share what country he had left and his current whereabouts. Rumble did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rumble is a video-sharing site headquartered in Florida and Ontario. It is popular among conservatives and conspiracy theorists for its relaxed stance on content moderation compared to social media giants Meta and Google.
