While the boom of social media has paved the way for drastic improvements in communication over the years, social platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp have also posed a threat to society at 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.
“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.
So, Trump’s social media company is clearly taking a hit on the Twitter CEO, presumably, for banning him on the micro-blogging platform. Furthermore, as per the app description, posts on TRUTH Social will be called TRUTHs and users can even re-TRUTH someone’s TRUTHs – like that’s never been done before. Well, if that’s not hitting Twitter right in their guts, I don’t know what is!
So, all in all, Trump will launch the TRUTH Social platform in the first quarter of 2022. However, as aforementioned, it will be available for invite-only users next month. So, are you looking to jump ship from Facebook or Twitter?
