Russell is a tank and handling the situation in a very mature manner. He is still doing his show and not talking about the allegations whatsoever. If it goes to court then he will address it as it comes, as he should. This is a pathetic which hunt by the UK, and any platform giving in to nonsense like this is a serious red flag. Is YouTube going to fire its CEO if I make an allegation against him/her? How is me doing that any different than Russell’s current situation? What’s with the weird scapegoating and not respecting “innocent until proven guilty” … This topic/situation really makes my blood boil.

Russell is a weird creep but governments should not be going around and asking companies to censor people without a legal basis.

There are weird lines here in general. The court of public opinion plays a major role in where major advertisers are willing to spend their money, regardless of guilt or proof of guilt. But should we treat platform monetization the same way? I hope not, but I can see why there are advocates on that side.

> Is YouTube going to fire its CEO if I make an allegation against him/her? How is me doing that any different than Russell’s current situation? I really do get what you're saying, but you making an accusation against youtube's CEO would be very different from Russell’s current situation For the comparison to work your accusation would need to be only one of several similar allegations, made by multiple people, with varying degrees of evidence, covering a span of many years. Bonus points if you and the other accusers had a Channel 4 documentary released about your accusations.
