Crackdown on Free Speech Escalates: Arrest Warrants Issued for Rumble and GAB CEOs Amid Ongoing Censorship Concerns
The crackdown on free speech has reached a new level. Arrest warrants have been issued for Chris Pavlovski, CEO of Rumble, and Andrew Torba, CEO of GAB, on charges including Conspiracy to Defraud the US. This development follows the recent arrest of Pavel Durov in France, highlighting a troubling trend of escalating attacks on independent platforms.
As scrutiny intensifies, questions arise about whether this represents a broader push towards mass censorship. Free speech appears increasingly under threat—who will be targeted next?
The arrest of Durov has attracted notable attention from supporters of free speech. Some of the notable personalities that have condemned the arrest include Elon Musk and Vitalik Buterin, who have regarded the arrest as a dangerous attack on freedom of speech in Europe.
It also raises questions about the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Some critics have opined that the DSA could be used to censor online content, while others compare it to practices of autocratic societies.
