Trump: “My Social Truth Against Big Tech Censors”

Donald Trump promises that Truth Social, the new social media that the former president wants to launch soon, will fight against the censorship of “self-righteous reprimands and self-proclaimed referees” who decide what others can “think, say, share and do. “. A few days after the announcement of his social “truth”, which is expected to be launched in a pilot form next month and then be available to the public next year, Trump returns to attack Twitter, Facebook and other social media that they banned after the assault on Congress by its supporters on January 6. “The corruption of these platforms cannot be ignored”, continues the former president in a statement released by Trump Media & Technology Group, the group that manages the new social media together with a new thematic channel. “We have gone much further in the slippery terrain of censorship in our country – he added – and the topics that Americans are forbidden to discuss are the most important issues of daily life”. After his electoral defeat, and his reluctant exit from the White House, Trump, who never acknowledged defeat, remains the de facto leader of the Republican party and continues to raise the possibility of his new White House candidacy in 2024. The launch of his social media is considered a first step in this direction, since the ban on Twitter and Facebook has taken away from the tycoon his main political weapon, his ability to communicate directly with his supporters and control the information cycle with its famous “tweets”. In his statement, Trump says his main goal is to “challenge the hegemony of Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses.” “For this company it is much more than a political move – he concluded – it is a question of saving the country”.
