Former President Donald Trump has exposed that Truth social, the latest social network produced by the Trump media and technology group, has arrived on IOS to download.
The app was freshly opened to around 500 beta testers, most of whom exist in the MAGA sphere previously. A spokesperson told that truth social is preparing to launch today, Monday 21, which also happens to be the president’s day.
What makes truth social different? The app description asks. We are a social media platform that is free from political discrimination. Join us share, communicate, and have fun.
The app looks much like other social networks, with profiles, the main feed, likes and reports, and so on. You could even say it looks almost alike to Twitter. The main difference is that posts are called truths. An executive told users that confirmed profiles and direct messages are coming afterward.
Setting aside the irony of Donald Trump, a man famously at odds with the truth, launching a social network called truth social, the journey to getting here has been interesting.
The Trump media and technology group, which is listed as the developer of the app, is led by former GOP commissioner Devin, famous for suing a cow on Twitter and losing.

This week we will begin to roll out on the Apple app store. That’s going to be awesome because we’re going to get so many more people that are going to be on the platform said Devin on fox news lately. One of the interesting quandaries facing truth social will be content moderation. Trump was famously banned for inciting a mutiny at the capital as bidden was established as president. Parlor, a comparable right-wing social network, has had difficulties with Apple and Google. Apple removed the app for several months due to weak policies over removing unpleasant and illegal content. It seems reasonable to take for granted that truth social will run into the same issues without a robust mechanism for removing content.
