Former President Donald Trump has officially revealed that he is launching his own social media in 2022, a many months after his assistant told Fox News about his plans. He is calling it TRUTH Social, and the platform is supposedly part of his camp’s sweats to fight back against”the Big Tech companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.”
Some of Trump’s sympathizers believe that social networks are poisoned against conservative voices — in 2018, a group indeed sued Twitter, Facebook and Google, criminating them of breaking antitrust laws and violating their First Correction rights by conspiring to suppress conservative shoes. The case was tossed out of court a many times. According to a New York University exploration published before this time, there is no substantiation of conservative bias on the world’s most popular social networks. There was indeed an Instagram bug in the months leading to the US Presidential Choices that favored Trump content over Biden’s.
It’s true, still, that Facebook and Twitter banned Trump from their platforms following the January 6th US Capitol screams. Twitter determined that his tweets at that time violated its programs. According to the website, his tweets (which you can view in an library)”must be read in the environment of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mustered by different cult, including to incite violence.”
Before this month, Trump sued to get his Twitter account back, arguing that the ban violates his First Amendment rights. Indeed, his ban on the website gets a special citation in Verity Social’s advertisement. He said in a statement”We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.”
Verity Social will have a beta launch in November for invited guests. Trump and his platoon are awaiting to roll it out nationwide in the first quarter of 2022.
