Rumble ‘celebrates’ U.S. court ruling on Moraes’ directives

Rumble (RUM) celebrated a ruling from a U.S. federal court that censorship orders from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes have no legal force in the United States. Rumble released the following statement: “Today, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida confirmed what we have argued from the very beginning: Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s censorship orders have no legal force in the United States. This ruling is a complete victory for free speech, digital sovereignty, and the right of American companies to operate without foreign judicial interference. The court explicitly ruled that Moraes’s directives were never properly served under U.S. or international law, stating that they were not delivered through the Hague Convention, the U.S.-Brazil Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty, or any other valid legal mechanism. This means that Rumble and Trump Media (DJT) are under no obligation to comply with these unlawful censorship demands, and no U.S. entity is required to enforce them. The court further made clear that if anyone attempts to enforce these illegal orders on U.S. soil, it stands ready to intervene to protect American companies and free speech. The ruling sends a strong message to foreign governments that they cannot bypass U.S. law to impose censorship on American platforms. This case was never just about Rumble or Trump Media-it was about stopping foreign judges from trying to silence speech in America. Today’s ruling confirms that Moraes’s authoritarian censorship campaign has no place in the United States, and his overreach will not stand. Rumble and Trump Media will continue to fight for free speech, and today’s ruling is a major victory in that battle.”
