After being expelled from the most popular social networks, Donald Trump decided to “counterattack the censorship” of Big Tech with the announcement last October of TRUTH Social , his own social network, which is already preparing to be formally launched next February 21st. This platform is the first product within his new conglomerate, Trump Media Technology Group (TMTG).


The former president of the United States indicated that the reason why he created TRUTH Social is to “stand up to the tyranny of the 'Big Tech'” of Silicon Valley , which he accuses of using their power to “silence opposing voices ” unilateral form. The Crypto Email List new platform is now available for reservation in the App Store, Apple 's store , where users can obtain it before its launch, which coincides with the celebration of Presidents' Day in the US.


Trump vs. popular social networks
Donald Trump promotes TRUTH Social as an alternative to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube , from which he was expelled after the violent invasion by his followers of the North American Congress on January 6, , which sought to stop the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the November presidential election.

Faced with these sanctions, the controversial billionaire allied himself with the blank check company ( SPAC ) Digital World Acquisition Corp, in order to raise $293 million in financing last September on Wall Street. In early December, both groups announced that they had received $1 billion in another round of financing to make this project possible.

The social network of the former North American president will thus join in February other similar platforms that have become alternatives “guarantors of freedom of expression” to conventional social networks for ultraconservative movements, which seek to express themselves without any moderation in these services. , such as Parler (by John Matze) , Gab (by Andrew Torba
Ekrem Büyükkaya) or Gettr (social network created in July by former Trump advisor, Jason Miller). In fact, the latter received a great advertising boost from Joe Rogan , host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” , one of the most listened to podcasts in the world in recent years, who recently promoted said social network by inviting his followers To join.

“ As part of our mission, Trump Media continues to align itself with service providers that do not discriminate on the basis of political ideology. “America is ready for TRUTH Social and to end cancel culture ,” Trump stated. To this end, TMTG partnered with the Canadian company Rumble to provide its video and streaming services to TRUTH Social, considering itself as an alternative “ designed to be immune to cancel culture ” and that proposes “ a free, open and neutral internet.” ” while signing ultra-conservative figures, such as former member of the secret services and now Fox News anchor, Dan Bongino.



But TRUTH Social is not the only thing Trump has in mind to “counter censorship.” In his announcement last October, the former Republican president also hinted at the possibility of creating his own streaming service, which would be called “TMGT+”, a platform with on-demand entertainment content where podcasts, news, programs and much more would be hosted. .

What will TRUTH Social be like?
There is very little information about how TRUTH Social will work, although it is revealed that the platform will be free, will be available for iOS and Android, will have a desktop version and will only be accessed through an invitation. This last feature is not confirmed, but this is how it worked in the testing stage last November, which was interrupted by the presence of trolls who created fake accounts of Trump and people around him in its beta.
