Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the video-sharing platform Rumble to shut down operations in Brazil, citing non-compliance with legal directives, particularly the lack of a local legal representative and failure to remove content from a controversial journalist. Rumble, which claims to be a platform for free speech, argued that this shutdown represents 'unprecedented censorship' against political dissenters. The decision reflects ongoing tensions in Brazil regarding the treatment of conservative media and the implications of foreign-based platforms on national law.
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Rumble must cease operations in Brazil within 24 hours due to non-compliance with court orders.
