Oct. 23, 2021

While the boom of social media has paved the way for drastic improvements in communication over the years, social platforms likeFacebookandWhatsApphave alsoposed a threat to societyat certain times. Moreover, in today’s world, the social media industry is controlled by only a few big tech companies, with Facebook being the biggest of them all. Now, former US President Donald Trump wants to end the“tyranny of Big Tech”in the social media sector with the launch of his own social media platform.

The announcement of TRUTH Social and TMTG came recently via an official tweet from Trump’s spokesperson, Elizabeth Harrington. Harrington shared an image of the official press release in one of her latest tweets, which you can check out right below.

“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,”Trump said in a statement.

“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!”, the former Presidentfurther added.

So it seems like Trump is going all-in against Facebook and Twitter with his TRUTH Social platform. Now, speaking of the social platform, it is currently taking registrations for a waiting list via itsofficial website. The app is alsoavailable to pre-orderon Apple’s App Store and we get a glimpse of the upcoming social media platform.

In fact, in one of the screenshots, we can see a profile that is named “Jack’s Beard” along with a picture of a guy who, from a distance, looks much like Twitter’s CEOJack Dorsey. In another screenshot that showcases chat conversations on TRUTH social, we can see “Jack’s Beard” angrily ordering to take down an account and its posts, which tries to depict Trump’s own ban on Twitter.

A geek at heart, you’ll find me fidgeting with an iOS device or sitting in front of the laptop, scouring the internet to find interesting technological innovations. In my free time, you’d find me playing Valorant or listening to Pink Floyd.
