Rumble Applauds Trump’s Visa Restrictions on Foreign Censorship

LONGBOAT KEY, Fla. – Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM), the video-sharing platform and cloud services provider, is applauding President Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s move to restrict visas for foreign officials or nationals involved in censoring Americans. This announcement comes as Rumble itself navigates a high-profile legal battle, underscoring the company’s commitment to free speech principles.

Rumble is currently embroiled in a lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, alleging violations of First Amendment rights. The suit claims Moraes ordered the suspension of a U.S.-based Rumble account belonging to a prominent, politically outspoken user. This legal fight places Rumble directly in the crosshairs of global debates surrounding digital censorship and free expression.

“It’s encouraging to see the United States take a leadership role in defending freedom of expression, an inherent human right,” stated Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski. “We’ve witnessed firsthand how these enemies of free speech seek to overreach into America and undermine the First Amendment. Secretary Rubio’s stance that America will champion free speech globally is a welcome development.”

Legal experts also chimed in on the administration’s stance. “This is a significant step in defending American digital sovereignty and the First Amendment,” noted attorneys Martin De Luca and Matthew L. Schwartz from Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. They highlighted the actions of foreign officials who, for years, have issued censorship orders targeting U.S. companies, their executives, and users, effectively attempting to criminalize protected speech within the U.S. They commended President Trump and Secretary Rubio for their proactive defense of the Constitution and digital sovereignty.
