Various social media platforms have been asked about Brand being able to monetise his content.
Social media site X has been asked by a senior MP if owner Elon Musk, who changed its name from Twitter, “has personally intervened in any decisions on Russell Brand’s status on the platform”.
These include X, where the presenter has 11.2 million followers on the site formerly known as Twitter, right-wing video platform Rumble where has 1.4 million followers, and Instagram which has 3.8 million followers and is run by Meta.Dame Caroline also pointed to a response by Mr Musk following Brand posting a video on Friday denying the allegations and the comedian and actor saying he has been “promiscuous” but that all of his relationships have been “consensual”.
“We would also like to know what X is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behaviour.” He added that Brand had never been part of its content creator monetisation programme, called the TikTok Creator Fund.
On Tuesday, Acast said it had turned off advertisements on Russell Brand’s Under The Skin podcast and Brand’s YouTube account, which has 6.6 million subscribers, was announced to have been suspended from YouTube’s Partner account.
