Rumble sues California over censorship law

Rumble (RUM) announced that it has sued the California Attorney General and Secretary of State over a recently passed law that “unconstitutionally punishes certain political speech.” Rumble is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, a non-profit law firm that defends the right to speak freely and which also represents the satirical website “The Babylon Bee” in a related lawsuit. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division. “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,” said Chris Pavlovski, Chairman and CEO of Rumble.
