Russell Brand: Big Tech plays judge, jury and executioner before a trial again

Are accusations enough to destroy someone’s life and remove his ability to make money?

That certainly seems the case with actor and podcaster Russell Brand and the feverish push to make sure he is demonetized on every online platform.

Brand has been accused of serious sexual offenses.

He might be a terrible person, we really don’t know.

He has not been charged with anything, and an accusation does not make it acceptable to take away his job.

I get it: We live in a bifurcated world. We take sides. We make snap decisions. We read a headline and form an opinion.
