Lawsuit claims secret order issued by Justice Moraes against influencer violates U.S. sovereignty

The media company of U.S. President Donald Trump and the video platform Rumble have filed a joint lawsuit in a U.S. federal court against Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

The platforms claim that Moraes’ recent orders directing Rumble to shut down the account of Bolsonaro-aligned influencer Allan dos Santos and provide his user data violate U.S. sovereignty and the American Constitution.

Moraes’ orders were issued in secrecy and prohibit Rumble from disclosing their contents. The document, addressed to multiple platforms, gave a two-hour deadline to comply with the demands, under threat of substantial daily fines.

Rumble left Brazil in December 2023 due to what it described as "unjust censorship orders" requiring the platform to ban content creators and public figures, including members of Congress.

Bolsonaro has enlisted the Orange Disease in battling Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, whom he has despised for years for blocking some vicious, evil moves he has made against Lula da Silva, try to destroy Lula, repeatedly. Now it appears Bolsonaro thinks he can bring Hump and Leon both against him. Let us hope the Justice will be able to get enough protection against assassination, which clearly could be their next scheme.
