After being censored and suspended multiple times by YouTube, the conservative news channel is moving to greener pastures.
One America NewsĀ is saying goodbye to YouTube. The conservative news channel made up of vocal Trump supporters announced via Twitter that they are moving toĀ Rumble, a free-speech video platform that offers most of the same features as YouTube.
#OANN decided to #MakeTheSwitch to #Rumble, where we can freely report the news without restrictions or censorship.

The platform, promoted heavily by conservative commentator and board memberĀ Dan Bongino, does not generally censor its content creators.

Content creators and those simply wanting to spread their message are leaving Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for sites like Rumble andĀ Parler.

It will take a massive push by free-speech advocates to build Rumble and other platforms to prominence. But the alternativeāremaining on bigger platforms that censorāis growing more untenable every day.
