SAO PAULO, March 7 (Reuters) - The majority of a

five-member panel of Brazil's Supreme Court formed a majority on

Friday to uphold a justice's previous ruling to suspend U.S.

video-sharing platform Rumble in the country for not

complying with court orders.

Justices Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin sided with

Alexandre de Moraes, forming a majority. Justices Luiz Fux and

Carmen Lucia had yet to cast their votes.

Rumble, a video platform favored by right-wing influencers,

was ordered to be shut down by Moraes in February until the firm

named a legal representative for Brazil and complied with other

orders, including the payment of pending fines.

Rumble did not immediately respond to a request for

comment.

The spat between Rumble and Brazil's Supreme Court came

after the company refused to block the account of a Brazilian

streamer living in the U.S. who is under investigation in his

home country in a probe related to hate speech and spreading

false information.

Rumble and Trump Media & Technology Group ( DJT ) have

filed a motion in a U.S. district court to block enforcement of

Moraes' orders, arguing his rulings "violate the U.S.

Constitution."

The justices on the Supreme Court's five-member panel

have until March 14 to cast their votes in the virtual court

session.
