Donald Trump launches rival to Facebook, Twitter called TRUTH Social

Trump’s new social media platform “TRUTH Social” is up for pre-registration in the Apple App Store.

Former US President Donald Trump is launching his own social media network after facing bans from Facebook and Twitter. Trump’s social media platform will be called “TRUTH Social” and it will “stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech.” The social media app is likely to be the first project of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) after its merger with Digital World Acquisition Group with the former US president as the chairman.

"We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favourite American President has been silenced," Donald Trump said in the statement, targeting both Twitter and Facebook.
