Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Feb. 21 ordered the suspension of the video-sharing platform Rumble in the country over the company’s failure to comply with court orders.

The order follows a lawsuit filed by Rumble and President Donald Trump’s media group against de Moraes on Feb. 19, accusing him of violating U.S. free speech laws when he ordered the suspension of the accounts of a “well-known politically outspoken user” of Rumble living in the United States.
