Trump to Launch New Social Media Platform TRUTH Social

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

He said the platform would “stand up to the tyranny of big tech”, accusing them of silencing opposing voices in the US.

Social media played a pivotal role in Trump’s bid for the White House and was his favorite means of communication as president.

But Trump was banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook after his supporters stormed the US Capitol.

An early version of his latest venture, TRUTH Social, will be open to invited guests next month and will have a “nationwide rollout” within the first three months of 2022, according to a statement by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG).
