YouTube Alternative Rumble to Establish U.S. HQ in Florida

By Movieguide® Staff

Rumble, the pro-freedom of speech video-sharing platform and alternative to YouTube, has found a home for its headquarters in Longboat Key, Florida.

The Toronto-based company announced the new location for their U.S. HQ after monthly viewers surpassed 40 million.

Many conservatives, including former President Donald Trump, turned to Rumble after Big Tech censorship increased on YouTube and other social platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Patch reported that Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, also uses the online site to share state news and updates with Florida residents.

“Moving to Longboat Key is a win-win for Rumble and the Sarasota community,” Chris Pavlovski, CEO, said. “Sarasota County is growing rapidly, and we are excited to be part of the growth. We plan to fill 20 (to) 25 new positions in Florida immediately for our U.S. headquarters, with many more planned for the future. This move positions us to continue providing a platform to content creators without the threats from big tech monopolies. We are excited to invest in Florida in the coming years while we continue to grow Rumble.”

DeSantis, who is vocal about his disagreement with how the federal government responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, noted that Rumble upholds his advocacy for free speech.

“Over the past year, we have seen businesses flock to Florida from across the country because, as long as I am governor, our state will be free and built for opportunity. We wish Rumble all the best in their endeavors in Florida, and we look forward to watching their success,” DeSantis said.

Movieguide® previously reported on Florida legislation that seeks to “hold Big Tech accountable”:

A recent press release revealed that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 7072 to hold Big Tech accountable in Florida.

Florida’s governor cited the large population of South Americans who experienced censorship in their home countries and wants to pursue transparency online.

“This session, we took action to ensure that ‘We the People’ — real Floridians across the Sunshine State — are guaranteed protection against the Silicon Valley elites,” Governor Ron DeSantis said. “Many in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.”
