In a strategic move to reclaim his online presence, former U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a new social media platform named TRUTH Social. This development comes in the wake of his banning from various mainstream social media platforms, most notably X (formerly Twitter), following the events at the Capitol in January 2021.
Competing with the ‘tech giants’
TRUTH Social emerges as a platform aiming to challenge the dominance of Big Tech giants like Twitter and Facebook, which Trump perceives as curbing free expression. The app’s launch marks Trump’s endeavor to create a space where users can engage in open dialogue without censorship.
The genesis of TRUTH Social traces back to 2021 when Trump Media and Technology Group merged with a special acquisition company (SPAC). This merger laid the foundation for the new platform, signifying Trump’s determination to shape the digital discourse.
