‘Anyone interested in downloading this app? Listen to the story of this app to fight for the right to freedom of speech. '
Former president of the United States (US), Donald Trump has finally launched the Truth Social application on the main US -made smart device, the iPhone.
As a scan, Donald Trump has been banned from using Twitter, Facebook and Google’s Alphabet app YouTube following an attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021 after he was accused of sending messages inciting violence.
Turning to the Social Truth app, it was developed by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) led by former Republican U.S. Representative Devin Nunes.
It was developed with the aim of being a leader in the right to freedom of expression platform for consumers who have long felt their rights have been restricted by other technology platforms.
In the U.S., iPhone users can start downloading the app by midnight yesterday local time.
Nunes on an appearance on Fox News said they expect that by the end of March the application will be fully operational throughout the US, besides also expressing confidence that the application will definitely get a great response from users.
Meanwhile, during the launch of the application at midnight last night, a number of users faced problems to register an account or were added to the waiting list due to the large number of requests.
So far it is still unknown whether the Truth Social app is able to compete with the popularity of other social media giants like Twitter, where competitors like Gettr App, Parler App and Rumble App are struggling to penetrate key markets.
In addition, TMTG is still shrouded in secrecy and skepticism by some technology companies as well as other media as it is still unclear how the firm is financing its current growth.
According to a report on Oct. 21, TMTG is also planning a listing in New York through a merger with blank check firm, Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) and will receive $ 293 million in cash that DWAC holds as a trust assuming no DWAC shareholders redeem their shares .
For additional information, DWAC has received attention from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
