The entrepreneur and former US President Donald Trump is launching his own social network called Truth Social in the USA, declaring war on Twitter and “the tyranny of big tech” . The “mission” is to be tackled shortly.
Trump Social declares war on Big Tech
Under the umbrella of Trump Media & amp; Technology Group, which now includes the “news channel” Truth News as well as the Truth movement and whose chairman is Donald Trump, Truth Social is supposed to compete with the established social networks Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable.

The account of the former US president was already blocked in 2020 for “hateful speech” on Twitter after several of his tweets were previously classified and marked as misleading. But Twitter held on to the lock even after Donald Trump's public protests.
The first participants will start the beta in November
< p class = "p text-width"> Donald Trump, who wants to launch his social network “very soon”, has already announced that he will soon publish his “first truth” on Truth Social.
In the US, the Truth Social App is already available as a pre-order in Apple's App Store for iOS, and beta is scheduled to start in November.
I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I'm excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn't someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!

Truth Social opens the waiting list
After the first “selected” guests in Truth Social, the nationwide rollout in the USA is to take place in the first quarter of 2022. Interested parties can already be put on the waiting list via the official website of Truth Social.
As the journalist Mikael Thalen from the US -Magazine The Daily Dot found out, registration via detours is already possible today – and has created an account called @donaldtrump.
Was just able to setup an account using the handle @donaldtrump on & # 39; Truth Social, & # 39; former President Donald Trump & # 39; s new social media website.
Although the site is not officially open, a URL was discovered allowing users to sign up anyway. pic.twitter.com/MRMQzjNhma
