Trump launching social media platform called TRUTH
Ex-President Donald Trump is launching a new social media network, called TRUTH Social that he says will “stand up to the tyranny of big tech”. Trump had his accounts at Facebook, Instagram and Twitter blocked after the storming of the US Capitol in January, as he was accused of inciting violence.
“I created TRUTH Social and TMTG (Trump Media and Technology Group) to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable,” Trump said in a press release.
”I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!” Trump said.
After having had his social media accounts blocked, Trump launched blog-like platform From the Desk of Donald J Trump where he posted some comments but he rather soon closed it down.
TRUTH Social will be created through a new company formed by a merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group and a special acquisition company (SPAC), the press release said.
”Trump Media & Technology Group’s mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the “Big Tech” companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.”
TMTG said it intends to launch a subscription video on demand service (TMTG+). TMTG+ will feature ‘non-woke’ entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more.
