Last night, Alexandre de Moraes threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we do not comply with his censorship orders. He did so in a secret order, which we share here to expose his actions.

Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process.

As a result, to protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately.

The X service remains available to the people of Brazil. We are deeply saddened that we have been forced to make this decision. The responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes.

His actions are incompatible with democratic government. The people of Brazil have a choice to make - democracy, or Alexandre de Moraes. —

Then armed rebellion starts.

“For as long as people are allowed to spread lies, abuse, harass, then social cohesion as we know it has completely broken down.””

speaking of spreading lies and harassment, why is Harry and Sparkles representing themselves as on a royal tour, when to appear so is a lie and harassment of the UK monarchy, which did not sanction any such tour?

For those who don’t know, Moraes ordered a daily fine of 20,000 reais ($3,653) and an arrest decree against X representative Rachel Nova Conceicao if X wouldn’t reveal individual identities of those who posted msgs to during the Bolsonaro admin that Moreas found offensive. Moraes has also gone after executives at Google and Telegram, demanding platforms only allow content the Brazilian govt approves of.

Anybody in France can still get to Rumble using a VPN and there's nothing the French government can do about it.

And this is what needs to happen world wide.

Freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are human rights, and the United States needs to put in place sanctions against countries that deny people their human rights.

I'm looking at you England.

The Black DA and AG have destroyed the state

“The Black DA and AG have destroyed the state”

The Marxist Democrats have destroyed the state... just as they have destroyed everything else they have touched, and everywhere else they have been in power. Just as they will destroy the entire nation... if we let them.
