Donald Trump (75), who repeats the proven lie of alleged electoral fraud almost every day, calls his social network “Truth Social”. Truth means truth in German. The Trump platform is due to be launched in November.
The former US president is still banned from popular social media such as Twitter and Facebook. “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, but your preferred American president has been silenced,” Trump said in a statement.
Will Trump’s Network Have Rules?
Therefore, a beta version of his own social network will be available to invited guests in November. It is not clear what the website should look like – and whether there are rules and moderations for the posts, as is the case with Twitter and Facebook.
The former president and his advisors have indicated since leaving office that they want to set up a platform that competes with Facebook and Twitter. The ex-president’s accounts with the social media giants were blocked after the attack on the Capitol on January 6th.
In the attack, Trump supporters, who sometimes organized themselves in social networks, penetrated the US Capitol. Five people died. (euc)
