Trump Media, Rumble File Court Motion against Suspension of Rumble in Brazil
February 24 2025 - 8:30AM
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq: DJT) ("TMTG"),
operator of the social media platform Truth Social, the streaming
platform Truth+, and the FinTech brand Truth.Fi, has jointly filed
an emergency motion with its partner Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM) in U.S.
federal court to halt the suspension of Rumble in Brazil by a
Brazilian judge.
Last week, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes
issued a set of gag orders against Rumble, demanding it censor the
accounts of a Brazilian journalist residing in the United States.
Refusing to comply, Rumble joined TMTG, whose global online
platform Truth Social is powered, in part, by Rumble servers, in
filing a lawsuit to have the gag orders deemed unenforceable in the
United States. Moraes then ordered the suspension of Rumble in
Brazil, imposed daily fines on Rumble, and threatened Rumble CEO
Chris Pavlovski with criminal charges. In response, TMTG and Rumble
filed a motion yesterday for an ex parte temporary restraining
order and preliminary injunction against Moraes.
TMTG CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes said, “Moraes’
actions—including issuing gag orders, shutting down social media
sites, imposing coercive fines, and threatening criminal liability
against those who reject his censorship demands—are
abhorrent abuses of power redolent of thin-skinned dictators
and communist regimes. Resisting this kind of speech suppression is
exactly why TMTG and Rumble exist. Trump Media fully supports our
partner Rumble in this crucial battle for free
expression."
TMTG and Rumble filed the emergency motion in the U.S. District
Court for the Middle District of Florida.
