U.S (UltraViolet) : APPLE and GOOGLE are making $$$ on misogyny.

 

 

 

Dear friend,

 

Apple and Google claim to have policies against hate speech and incitement of violence.

Yet the app stores for both Apple and Google phones readily host Rumble, the far-right streaming website that co-hosted last week’s Republican presidential debate.

Rumble is a haven for misogynists, accused rapists, and conspiracy theorists like Nike Fuentes, Alex Jones, Russell Brand, and Andrew Tate. There’s no question it breaks Apple and Google's rules prohibiting discrimination or incitement of violence based on race.”¹

That’s why we need your help to convince Apple and Google to remove Rumble from the Apple App and Android Play stores once and for all. Add your name now.

Apple and Google : Remove Rumble, the far-right streaming website from your app stores.

Sign the petition

Rumble is a YouTube wannabe created explicitly to host content so dangerous and toxic that it was banned elsewhere.

Nick Fuentes denies the Holocaust and calls women “baby machines.” Russell Brand is an alleged serial sexual abuser. Andrew Tate targets young boys, indoctrinating them with misogynistic ideas promoting rape culture. Alex Jones says the Sandy Hook massacre was “staged.”²

All have been welcomed with open arms on Rumble.

More than a third of the most-liked videos on Rumble’s leader board amplify dangerous conspiracy theories, including the QAnon lies supporting Donald Trump.³

The deadly attack on January 6 is the most glaring evidence that these baseless conspiracies are threatening public safety and our democracy. That’s why Apple and Google must stop hosting Rumble ASAP.

Sign the petition demanding Apple and Google dump Rumble.

Together we’ve shown that when we come together, we win. Just this year, our people-powered community successfully pressured Apple into joining Google in removing Andrew Tate’s app from its stores for violating its App Store rules.⁴ Now we need your help to get Rumble removed from these platforms as well.

Thank you for taking urgent action !
