230 WORDS IS TOO LONG FOR AN ILLITERATE LIKE ME: It wasn’t against the law, it was just, “Wrong think”

I'm not surprised that you're a failure to distinguish between "this is not against the law" and "this abuses a loophole of the law".

but nowadays, it doesn’t take much ASSOOOMPTION for what is considered, ‘scary and offencive' [SIC - offensive]

Wow, this is news for... nobody.

I also do not think an entirely different country can demand another one to obey its laws.

Brazil is not demanding Canada to obey Brazilian laws. Brazil is demanding Rumble to obey Brazilian laws if conducting businesses in Brazil, or cease operations in Brazil. Rumble did the later, as per news in the OP (that you likely didn't read either).

The internet and online services make this specially messy but it's the basic gist of it.
