Trump Media & Technology Group and Rumble have filed a lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, accusing him of violating free speech protections in the U.S. The legal action is connected to Moraes' ongoing campaign against disinformation and political unrest in Brazil, where he suspended social media accounts considered threats to democracy. Moraes is currently assessing charges against former President Bolsonaro, who is alleged to have attempted to undermine Brazil's democratic process. This situation highlights international tensions surrounding free speech and disinformation policies.
In recent years, Moraes has issued many rulings blocking social media accounts as he spearheaded a crusade against perceived attacks on democracy and the political use of disinformation in Brazil.
Rumble in a statement said the lawsuit alleged that Moraes violated the free speech protections of the First Amendment when he ordered the suspension of the US-based accounts of a specific well-known, politically outspoken user.
