“I will not be bullied by foreign government demands to censor Rumble creators,” said Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski in a post on X. He explained why the video-sharing platform was ending operations in Brazil:
“Recently, the Brazilian courts demanded that we remove certain creators from Rumble. As part of our mission to restore a free and open internet, we have committed not to move the goalposts on our content policies. Users with unpopular views are free to access our platform on the same terms as our millions of other users. Accordingly, we have decided to disable access to Rumble for users in Brazil while we challenge the legality of the Brazilian courts’ demands.”
