Brazil Suspends Rumble Over Non-Compliance with Court Orders

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes accuses Rumble of defying judicial rulings, including demands to block a fugitive's account and appoint local representation.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Rumble's suspension in Brazil after the platform failed to comply with court mandates, including appointing a legal representative and paying fines.
The dispute centers on Rumble's refusal to block the account of Allan dos Santos, a fugitive Brazilian journalist accused of spreading misinformation and calling for anti-democratic actions.
Rumble and Trump Media & Technology Group have filed a lawsuit in U.S. federal court, claiming Moraes’s actions infringe on U.S. free speech protections and overreach Brazilian jurisdiction.
Moraes has previously clashed with other platforms, such as Elon Musk’s X, over similar issues, with X eventually complying after a suspension in Brazil.
Critics accuse Moraes of judicial overreach, while supporters argue his actions are necessary to combat extremism and protect Brazil's democracy.
