“I took this job because it was time to go on offense… and this was an opportunity to go on offense. The mission is to open the internet back up, so there’s not political censorship and we’re gonna stay focused on that…
This is a big, big important fight and it’s not gonna be easy and it’s gonna take a lot of work, and it’s gonna take people to be steadfast and know that as we move forward, the road is gonna be rough, cause you’re gonna have a lot of people trying to take this company down.
So many millions of Americans are relying on us to get that beach-head established, and that’s why I left Congress to do this.”
This should really show you how important TruthSocial is going to be.
He said they hope it’s released by March 30th in the United States and then other countries will follow.
I’ve been excited about Trump’s Truth Social straight along but I seriously wonder why Trump chose to partner with Google instead of building his own infrastructure. What is to stop Google from taking the site down, as was done with Parler?
Trump’s tech team must erect guard rails to ensure Truth Social does not get kicked out of the app stores run by Apple Inc ( AAPL) and Alphabet Inc’s ( GOOG ) Google – a fate that befell popular conservative app Parler in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, riots in the U.S. Capitol. Without these stores, there is no easy way for most smartphone users to download the app.
The risk of such “de-platforming” is a top priority for TMTG Chief Executive Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman, as his team builds the app, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. Recognizing that the app will be a major target for hackers from day one, Nunes wants to have cyber talent at the “nation-state level,” one of the people said. Nunes has said publicly that the company’s goal is to launch its Truth Social app by the end of March.
