It appears like the unfettered, transnational power of tyrannical Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes over US social media platforms has started to collapse.
A US judge has ruled that Trump Media & Technology Group and video-sharing platform Rumble are NOT required to comply with an order from Justice Moraes.
U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven, from Tampa, Florida, found that Moraes’ orders were not delivered to Trump Media and Rumble in accordance with international treaties, and furthermore that there had been no attempt to enforce such rulings on American soil.
Instead of following the process of issuing the usual Letters rogatory to American Justice, Moraes would just fire emails with demands (that were sometimes deemed illegal), with a 24-to-48-hours-deadline to comply, or face steep fines.
As a result, the two US companies ‘are not required to comply’ with the Brazilian justice’s orders.
Reuters reported:
“In a case brought by Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT.O), opens new tab and the video-sharing platform Rumble (RUM.O), opens new tab, U.S. District Judge Mary Scriven said Rumble need not remove U.S.-based accounts of a prominent supporter of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.”
Trump Media and Rumble sued Moraes on February 19, accusing him of trying to ‘censor legitimate political discourse in the United States’.
“Scriven, however, said Moraes’ orders were not served upon Trump Media and Rumble in accordance with international treaties, and there appeared to have been no attempt to enforce the orders.
As a result, the Tampa, Florida-based judge said Trump Media and Rumble ‘are not obligated to comply’ with Moraes’ orders, making their lawsuit and request for a temporary restraining order premature.”
Meanwhile, the CEOs of the two US companies suing Moraes reacted to this first victory.
Devin Nunes, CEO and Chairman of the Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., issued the following statement yesterday (25):
“This is a major victory for free speech and free expression online. The ruling confirms that would-be dictators in any country can’t force Trump Media or Rumble to censor their opponents. We congratulate our partner Rumble on its principled stand for freedom.”
The CEO of Rumble, Chris Pavlovski, took to X to taunt Moraes for acting illegally:
“Hi Alexandre,
The other day you said I’m a criminal because I expressed the opinion that your secret orders were illegal. Today, a US federal court determined that your orders are invalid.
Again, we will see you in court… if you decide to show up. Best, Chris Pavlovski”
