"Rumble and Trump Media file motion in US court over decision by Brazilian judge", 24 February 2025

...U.S. President Donald Trump's Trump Media & Technology Group and video-sharing platform Rumble filed an emergency motion in a U.S. court against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the firms said in a statement on Sunday.

On Friday, the Justice ordered the suspension of the video platform in the South American country until it complies with court orders, after the firms sued Moraes in the U.S. District Court in Tampa over accusations of illegal censorship.

Brazil's Supreme Court did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The motion seeks to stop orders issued by the judge, as they said Moraes' rulings "violate American sovereignty, the U.S. Constitution, and U.S. laws."In the statement, the firms said that Moraes threatened criminal charges against Rumble's CEO, Chris Pavlovski.

Moraes, who also led the country's tussle with Elon Musk's X, ordered the suspension of service for Rumble until the firm names a legal representative for Brazil, as law requires foreign companies to have one to operate locally...
