Hi there! It sounds like this is now resolved, so we're going to go ahead and close this thread.
Please reach out to the channel directly as they control their content offerings.
This is still a problem, over a week later. RT on Rumble on Roku doesn't work (apart from RT documentary channel). Constantly getting "connection timed out" messages. It's only RT (as far as I can tell) and given that Roku deleted (censored) the RT channel in the past it is suspicious. Is Roku involved in this?
No, Roku is not doing anything within a 3rd party app/channel. If Rumble is having problems, it's something that Rumble has to fix. It might be a server problem on their end, or they have something programmed wrong in their app. There's no way Roku can block content within a channel provided by another service.
Roku doesn't "censor". If a channel is removed from availability, it means the provider has violated the terms of service. The same rules apply to all channel providers. If you consider not allowing certain adult content on their devices, I guess you could call that censorship. But remember that the first amendment only restricts the government from hindering free speech. Private companies are will within their rights to not allow certain content within their sphere of control. Newspapers are not required to publish everything that is sent to them. TV news stations the same. Online providers have the same authority.
I do not believe you one bit. I am a network engineer and know a thing or two; shall I post packet captures to prove it?
