Scriven ruled on Tuesday that statements and guidelines that were supposedly issued by Moraes’ were not served to the claimants in accordance with the Hague Convention, to which the United States and Brazil are both signatories, nor were they submitted in accordance with the mutual legal treaty between the United States States And Brazil. “
The judge also ruled that no well -known “action had been taken by the suspect or the Brazilian government to domesticate the orders or statements based on established protocols.”
“For these reasons, according to the established legislation, the claimants are not obliged to comply with the guidelines and statements, and no one is authorized or obliged to help with their enforcement against claimants or their interests here in the United States. Finally, it seems there is none Action taken to enforce the orders of the suspect Moraes by the Brazilian government, the US government or another relevant actor, “Scr, said.
Rumble said the statement confirmed what it always had a fight.
“The censorship orders of Justice Alexandre de Moraes have no legal strength in the United States. This statement is a complete victory for free speech, digital sovereignty and the right of American companies to operate without foreign judicial interference,” said Rumble spokesperson Tim Murtaugh in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“The court explicitly ruled that the Moraes guidelines were never served properly under American or international law,” Rumble continued. “This means that Rumble and Trump Media are not obliged to meet these illegal requirements of censorship, and no American entity is required to maintain them.”

According to the initial lawsuit, Moraes Rumble ordered to block the report of “Political Dissident A” or to be confronted with the closure of Rumble in Brazil, but TMTG and Rumble claimed that it is said to be “spreading wrong information” and “the Supreme Court” criticizing ” “Being completely legal in the US where Rumble works. Truth Social says it would be too influenced because it is partially dependent on rumble technology.
Scriven said that the court is ready to exercise its jurisdiction “an entity or person who wants to maintain the guidelines or judgments in the United States without compliance with the applicable laws or treaties,” but in the meantime the test is not ripe for a judicial assessment.
Rumble believes that SCRIVEN has made it clear that if someone tries to force these orders on American soil, the court will be ready to intervene to protect American companies and Free speech.
“The ruling sends a strong message to foreign governments that they cannot circumvent American law to impose censorship on American platforms,” ​​said Rumble.
“This case was never only about Rumble or Trump -Media – it was about preventing foreign judges to silence the speech in America,” it added. “Rumble and Trump Media will continue to fight for freedom of expression, and today’s pronunciation is a big victory in that struggle.”
