Today, the video platform Rumble announced that it has acquired Locals Technology, Inc. Locals’ revolutionary platform has quickly made it the premier subscription-based service for multimedia content and community. Buying Locals furthers Rumble’s mission of giving creators unprecedented autonomy over their work while providing audiences with quality content. Rumble is already one of the most respected independent and privately-owned companies in the online video-sharing platform industry. Acquiring Locals is part of Rumble’s broader effort to build a creator economy that fosters creative independence.
