Rumble, the video-sharing and cloud services platform, has reopened access to its site for users in France following a decisive legal development.
A court ruled that a French official’s demand for content removal, delivered via email, held no legal authority.
In response, Rumble has restored full access to its platform across the country.
The dispute dates back to 2022, when a French government representative attempted to pressure the platform into censoring certain videos.
Rather than complying with the demand to erase content under threat of legal consequences, Rumble took the bold step of withdrawing service from France entirely.
That stand against political interference has now been vindicated by the court’s finding that the email in question could not be treated as an enforceable action.
