Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes Responds to Ruling on Brazil Attempts to Censor Rumble
February 25 2025 - 6:17PM
Devin Nunes, CEO and Chairman of the Trump Media and Technology
Group Corp. (Nasdaq: DJT) ("TMTG"), issued the following statement
today after a U.S. federal judge ruled that TMTG and Rumble
(NASDAQ: RUM) are under no obligation to comply with orders from a
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice attempting to force Rumble to take
down a U.S.-based user’s accounts.
“This is a major victory for free speech and free expression
online,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. “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 ruling, issued from the U.S. District Court for the Middle
District of Florida, is a response to an emergency motion jointly
filed by TMTG and Rumble after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice
Alexandre de Moraes issued gag orders against Rumble, imposed daily
fines on the company, threatened Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski with
criminal charges, and ordered the shutdown of Rumble’s platform in
Brazil. While the U.S. federal judge ruled that TMTG’s and Rumble’s
motion for a temporary restraining order was not yet ripe, the
court left open the opportunity for TMTG and Rumble to re-file the
motion and stated that it “stands ready” to take further action in
the event that anyone seeks to enforce orders in the United States
without following proper procedures.
