Brazilian Supreme Court Orders Rumble Offline, Sparking Free Speech Debate

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered video platform Rumble to be taken offline within 24 hours for non-compliance with court orders, including failing to appoint a legal representative in Brazil and refusing to remove the channel of Brazilian conservative journalist Allan dos Santos. Rumble responded by claiming "unprecedented censorship" and, along with Trump Media & Technology Group, sued Moraes for violating US First Amendment free speech rights. This echoes a similar order against X (formerly Twitter), raising concerns about free speech and jurisdictional reach.
