For further info, so other posters know what’s going on:
Currently the Brazilian civil code has a gap that allows you to promote Nazism as long as you don’t use the swastika, nor “practice, induce or incite discrimination or prejudice based on race, [skin] colour, ethnicity, religion or national [SIC] origin”; refer to law 7716/1989 of the Civil Code article 20*.
And then there’s “that fucking guy” who says that there should be a Nazi party in Brazil; he’s called Bruno Auib, also known as Monark, some random podcaster. He did not violate the law in letter, but clearly did it in spirit. And later on the same guy went saying “the elections were rigged!” and something like this, so the Brazilian judiciary (Alexandre de Moraes) used the opportunity to demand social media platforms to get rid of his accounts, under the allegation of fake news*.
And now Rumble is all over the place trying to justify the non-removal of that guy. The platform is Canadian and the decision is from the Brazilian judiciary, and yet they’re babbling about “muh Amurrcan values” and that “gavurrnmenrs urr bullying uz”.
[I like the outcome of the judiciary decision. The way that it was done was a bit shitty, but better than nothing.]

TEALDEER: It wasn’t against the law, it was just, “Wrong think”
If even that. I don’t know the bloke or what he says, but nowadays, it doesn’t take much imagination for what is considered, ‘scary and offencive’ I also do not think an entirely different country can demand another one to obey its laws.
