Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued orders to suspend U.S.-based accounts on Rumble, which Trump Media and Rumble claim is censorship and violates First Amendment rights. Moraes targeted accounts he labeled as 'anti-democratic' and sought to remove content from a specific political dissident.

The lawsuit was filed shortly after charges against Jair Bolsonaro were sent to Brazil's highest court. While the lawsuit directly addresses censorship allegations against Justice de Moraes, it coincides with broader political tensions involving Bolsonaro, a Trump ally.

The lawsuit raises concerns about the jurisdictional limits of foreign courts and the potential for international legal overreach. It seeks to ensure that U.S. companies are governed by U.S. law and that foreign courts cannot unilaterally dictate what speech is allowed on American platforms.

Truth Social, owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, relies on Rumble's services for its operations. Compliance with de Moraes's orders could disrupt Truth Social's functionality within the United States, as it would impact Rumble's ability to host Truth Social content.
