President Trump's Trump Media Technology Group and video sharing platform Rumble sued Brazil's Supreme Court justice over Wednesday's charges of illegal censorship.
The case was accusations filed Tuesday by judge Alexandre de Moraes, and a conspiracy that former president Jer Bolsonaro overthrows the Brazilian government and undermines the country's democracy after the 2022 election defeat. He was charged when he alleged.
A Trump Media lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Tampa argued that the judge's previous orders censor “the legitimate political discourse in the United States.”
Rumble said in a statement that the lawsuit “violated the first amendment of free speech protections when Moraes ordered the suspension of US-based accounts of certain well-known and politically outspoken users.” He said he insisted.
It didn't name that person.
In recent years, Moraz has released numerous rulings blocking social media accounts as he led the crusade against perceived attacks on democracy and political use in Brazil.
The Brazilian Supreme Court and Moraz's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Republican president is the majority owner of Trump Media and runs the true social social of his private social media platform, but the Trump organization serves in the White House and runs his daily business. He says he will hand over the camp to the children.
Trump's vice president, JD Vance, a former venture capitalist and former senator, previously invested in Florida-based Rumble in 2021, the same year Trump joined the platform. .
Disabled access to Brazilian users in 2023 cites a court order to “remove certain creators” who vowed to challenge.
The platform returned online domestically earlier this year. CEO Chris Pavlovski says Brazil moved “to withdraw the censorship order” without providing details, believing it has won the Trump election.
Last year, Justice Moraes was locked in a months-long feud with Elon Musk and temporarily suspended X, owned by Brazilian Musk, for failing to comply with court rulings on social media platforms. He led the decision.
In January, Moraz said tech companies must comply with local laws to continue their activities in Brazil, adding that the Supreme Court will not allow them to misuse the use of hate speech for profit. .
