Love it.

The bastards’ shitty little platform has no power if people can’t use it.

Is there an actual article? Whatever this link is, it gives just a couple sentences. Linking an actual source instead of some third party front-end is pretty important when sharing news.

What you are seeing is what Reuters had written.

I have the news in Brazilian-portuguese if you want.

Tl;Dr: repeat of what happened to Twitter basically, Moraes issued the takedown of a right wing/conservative brazilian influencer on Rumble on the basis of spreading misinformation and fake news (no surprise there), but Rumble has no legal representation in Brazil, which makes the company illegal to operate here. He ordered that they appoint someone as legal representation for the company in 48 hours, that was Thursday, feb 20, and they didn’t comply. Rumble was fined and Moraes ordered the platform to be thoroughly and completely blocked in Brazil until they pay their fines and appoint someone as legal representation.

I’ve never heard of Rumble. What’s their differentiator as a video site?

Lets see if Rumble learned from Twitter’s mistake… I doubt it, but I’m willing to be surprised.
