Former President Donald Trump revealed that the platform would “stand up to the tyranny of big tech”, accusing them of silencing opposing voices in the United States.

Trump’s company, Trump Media & Technology Group, which he chairs, also intends to launch a subscription video-on-demand service.

Mr Trump was banned or suspended from social networks like Twitter and Facebook after crowds of his supporters stormed the US Capitol in January.

Mr Trump and his advisers have since hinted that they were planning to create a rival social media site.

Earlier this year, he launched From the Desk of Donald J Trump, which was often referred to as a blog.

But experts say there’s no indication that the new company has a working platform yet, instead, the new site is just a registration page.

Trump wants to create a platform that rivals Twitter or Facebook, but that simply won’t happen.

TMTG stated that the planned video-on-demand service would “feature ‘non-woke’ entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more.

U.S. unemployment rises to 4.6%, signaling labor market cooling despite November job gains and economic concerns.

The U.S. unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, marking its highest level in more than four years and signalling a cooling labour market. Despite job gains during the month, broader trends suggest increasing pressure across the economy.

While 64,000 jobs were added in November, the U.S. has now shed jobs in three of the past six months. Federal government employment also fell sharply, adding to concerns about economic momentum heading into the end of the year.

With businesses showing caution around hiring, the latest data raises fresh questions about the resilience of the U.S. labour market and what comes next for workers and employers alike.
