That isn't generally the standard. The question is whether they are "doing business" in Brazil. Which clearly they were, since they just stopped.

"Not actively blocking IPs from an area" is a pretty low bar for "doing business".

They're a website. "Not actively blocking IPs" is literally the business they're in. If you think it's a low bar, then why bother to argue about it on the internet? Clearly you think they were doing something impactful, why is that not "business"?

Business implies commerce, monetary transactions. It doesn't imply access however.

Rumble is an ad-supported video hosting platform. Clearly serving ad-supported videos to people is "commerce", don't be silly.

Selling Ads to Brazilian companies and paying streamers revenue-share is commerce.
