    Like all his ventures it'll end up in bankruptcy. Steaks, wine, condos, casinos (like really?) fake university, the government, etc. (Got tired of putting commas and adding his exploits).

    And like all the above he will con someone and they will hold the bill.
     
    Yeah it’s worth 1.7 billion. Sure….. why do I feel this is another Trump cash in and declare bankruptcy shell game?
     
    I thought TFG claimed to 'be tough on China'? I guess when it provides funding, they can be pals...

     
    More than a few people have already signed up with usernames such as MikePence and DonaldJTrump. Like his term in office, this will be a complete shirtshow.
     
    Yeah, people found the beta site pretty quick and so many people posted crazy stuff they had to shut it down last night, lol. Just wait until K-Pop nation shows up.
     
    So, Trump used open source software to launch this train wreck, and seems to have violated the terms of use. The owner is going to be seeking a legal opinion. Lol.

    “The new social network founded by former President Trump may violate the terms of use of the software on which it is based.

    On Wednesday night, after Trump revealed the TRUTH social app, Twitter users began to note that the network appeared to be based on an open-source social networking software called Mastodon, which allows people to modify the underlying code so long as they abide by its license.”

    “But the Trump network appears to have taken the publicly available code for the website while violating the terms that make it free to use.

    Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko told TPM in an email that TRUTH appeared to violate the terms of use that the software sets forth: making the source code available, and having a copy of the general product license available to users.”

    Trump’s Brand New TRUTH App May Violate Terms Of Open Source Code It’s Built On

    Lol, they’re using the wrong flag.



    edited: that’s a parody account. Evidently they didn’t think to grab that Twitter handle.
     
    Competition can never be a bad thing, I hope whatever legal trouble its going to inevitably face can be overcame. I'm at least curious as to how this will go. Google had their fair share of failures, like Google+ nobody used it and they had to eventually tie it to youtube down the road. Twitter has a huge problem with letting misinformation flow, they have a huge bot astroturfing problem in many popular hashtags where articles loaded with misinformation are constantly spammed. Microsoft epically failed with their Mixer streaming platform despite investing huge sums of money and paying and having to buyout contracts of Tyler Blevins(Ninja) and Shroud when they were paid to stream exclusively there.

    Misinformation on a grand level is unfortunately something all these networks have to deal with and have done a crap job at combating. Lets not pretend it doesn't happen on these competing platforms and it'll more than likely happen here but its not "exclusive" just because of who's launching this particular platform. If you guys think the conspiracy levels on this platform will be really bad? You should have seen how stupid it got on twitter with #BrianLaundrie. Twitter is loaded with conspiracy theories, so is tiktok and other platforms.

    Wine has alcohol, Twitter has conspiracy nuts.

    Trump's social media is going to be the Everclear of conspiracy loons.

    I actually think there’s a fairly likely possibility that this is simply another grift from Trump. I read he is actively soliciting donations from his faithful to support this launch. They have evidently used open source software, which is free.

    Trump himself is actively spreading lies and conspiracy theories all the time, so I have no illusions that this site will have anything to do with the truth at all.
