 Well Trump's answer to Twitter launched this week truth social and the rollout has been a little bit rocky to say the least So apparently they already suffered a site-wide outage that lasted 13 hours or so on top of that The website is functionally unusable for hundreds of thousands of people who are stuck on a waiting list that exists for some reason Are they vetting the users? What's the point of that? But all these problems aside apparently, you know, it's really worthwhile to use truth social Because this is a website that prides itself on being a beacon of free speech. This is the First amendment platform So this sounds like a great cell for me. I absolutely am excited to Make an account infiltrate this website and plaster communist adjut prop everywhere But apparently I might not be as welcome as I initially thought because there are reports that people are getting banned left and right for Criticizing Donald Trump. Excuse me. What? I thought this was the free speech platform So users are reporting that they're getting banned for criticizing Donald Trump Apparently it seems as if you are not allowed to disparage the president Donald Trump Matt Ortega claims that he was censored for making a parody account. What hang on a second That's protected under the First Amendment. Are we not allowed to make parodies on truth social? What gives and get this even right wingers are being censored So a right wing pundit claims that he was censored for saying government officials who authorized COVID vaccines for kids quote Should we put on trial and executed? Wow I mean when you can't even publicly call for the execution of public health officials I just have to assume that that website doesn't respect freedom of speech But on a serious note people are trying to figure out what exactly it is That's acceptable to post because the parameters are kind of bizarre. We don't know what they are This is supposed to be a free speech platform that is intended to compete with big tech platforms that apparently censor people for frivolous reasons, but yet People are getting criticized for making parody accounts and criticizing Donald Trump. We can do that on Twitter currently We can make parody accounts on Twitter currently So is Twitter more pro-free speech than Donald Trump? I'm not sure but what specifically does it say in the terms of service about freedom of speech? Well as Chris Walker of Truthout reports although Trump promised that truth social would be the standard bearer of free speech and Anti-censorship truth socials terms of service grant the site permission to ban quote any person for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, but I thought this was no not not a free speech platform Okay, okay seems like this is less of a social media platform and more of a Donald Trump platform for him to talk at you He doesn't care what you have to say. He's not interested in your tweets or rather truths or your re-truths That's literally what they're calling it. It's so Orwellian when he lied so much He's not interested in what you have to say He's not interested in the social media element of this website He just wants to talk at you and he wants you to clap like seals at every single thing that he says He tweets while he's shitting at 3 a.m. You want you to respond to it saying he's amazing This is for him not for you. He doesn't care about your free speech He cares about his freedom of speech and he's mad that he was banned from Twitter So this is just his new Twitter although I have to say it honestly is hilarious that so many people are getting banned and It doesn't seem like There's good reason to ban these folks right disparaging Donald Trump Creating parody accounts to get banned on this platform when you Claim that you're free speech. I mean, it's very it's very on-brand for Donald Trump to be a complete Hypocrite and contradict everything that he says but again, this this isn't a social media platform I think that a lot of people Assumed that this would be you know a competitor with Twitter But I don't one think that Trump is competent enough to do that given how many problems the website already has but again This isn't about anyone else Trump doesn't care about people using the platform He just wants people to use the platform in so far as they listen to what he has to say because social media was one of His many addictions. So, you know, that's what this is about. That's why he's banning people if you disparage him so I just I think it's funny and I will continue to keep you updated and when I am able to successfully infiltrate truth social I will report back because I'm gonna have some fun on this website. I'm gonna try to go undetected I'm not gonna tell anyone my username. I will absolutely try to see how far I can get But if I can get a re-truth by the president the former president Donald Trump, I will consider this a success I mean, it's a smaller platform. So maybe there's a higher likelihood that he'll notice me, but um We'll see. We'll see. I'm definitely I'm definitely gonna check out truth social. Yeah You
