Trump’s back: Former President announces new social network plans

Former US President Donald Trump has announced plans to launch a new social media network, called TRUTH Social

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.
