Trump Launches Truth Social, an Alt-Tech Platform
Summary
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the launch of "Truth Social," a new alt-tech social media platform owned by Trump Media Technology Group (TMTG). The platform, which aims to be "America's Big Tent social media platform," will encourage open and honest dialogue without discrimination.
Background
Trump's decision to launch Truth Social follows his permanent ban from Twitter in 2021. The former president has been critical of the censorship policies of mainstream social media platforms and has vowed to create an alternative that promotes free speech.
Features
Truth Social will allow users to "compose Truths," post messages, and "Re-Truth" (share) content from other users. The platform reportedly emphasizes free speech and limits content moderation, with TMTG CEO Devin Nunes stating that "people should be allowed to express themselves."
