Chris Pavlovski, founder of Rumble, an online video platform, said in an X post: "I am a little late because - I have just left Europe safely. France has threatened Rumble and now they have crossed a red line and arrested Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, reportedly for failing to censor his speech. Rumble will not tolerate this and will use all legal means to fight for the universal human right to freedom of expression. We are currently fighting in French courts for Pavel Durov's immediate release." Rumble, an online video platform with web hosting and Cloud as a Service businesses, is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and has its US headquarters in Longboat Key, Florida.
