SAO PAULO (AP) — A Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Friday ordered the suspension of video-sharing platform Rumble in the South American nation for allegedly refusing to comply with court orders.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Thursday had given Rumble 48 hours to name a legal representative in Brazil, but he received no answer so far.

Moraes said Rumble has “repeatedly, consciously and willingly not complied, and is trying not to submit to Brazil’s legal order and judiciary.”

He added that one of the decisions that Rumble has ignored is to remove the account of Allan dos Santos, a fugitive of Brazilian law, a resident in the United States since 2020 and a staunch supporter of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

“There’s no evidence of the regularity of Rumble Inc’s representation in Brazilian territory,” de Moraes said in his ruling.
