Donald Trump finally made good on his promise to launch a new social media platform to compete with mainstream social media networks. ‘TRUTH Social’ promises to give “a voice to all.” But a user could lose their account for criticizing the site.
According to the site’s terms of service, users may not “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.” Users must also agree not to use the site to break any laws or impersonate another user.
Failure to follow these terms will result in a user getting banned from the site.
“If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, your email address or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party,” the TOS said.
Yet, Trump, who was kicked off mainstream social media networks for violating their terms of service in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and subsequently led a GOP crusade against censorship by ‘big tech’ said in a statement that ‘TRUTH social’ was created “to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,” and “to give a voice to all.”
“We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced,” he said.
