Truth Social is a brand new social media platform launched in February this year by former US President Donald Trump’s technology firm, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). The app was created in response to a ban imposed on the former president by Big Tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube in January 2022, following the attack on the Capitol building by Trump supporters.
The Truth Social platform aims to promote free speech and a “cancel cancel-culture,” in Trump’s words. “Truth Social is America’s “Big Tent” social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.”-describes the official website for Truth Social.
