    NPR (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 83% • 2 min read

    TRUTH Social is expected to have a beta launch in November with a wider rollout in 2022, according to the release — but there have been questions raised about the initial security of the site. Trump and others have claimed that the major tech platforms try to silence conservative voices — though some, notably the commentator Ben Shapiro, have found huge popularity because of their presence on social media.
    ...
    The release lists Trump as the chairman of the Trump Media & Technology Group, which would be formed by joining with Digital World Acquisition Corp., pending regulatory and stockholder approval. [...] The release says the corporation will invest $293 million in the Trump project.
    ...
    His former close adviser Jason Miller has since started his own social platform called GETTR. In a statement Wednesday night, Miller said, "Trump has always been a great deal-maker, but we just couldn't come to terms on a deal."

335 votes, 21 comments

No - Assuming this means pain and/or the death of the pig, this is cruelty ...



Yes - I'm vegan but I value human life over pig lives. Not infinitely, but sacrificing a pig to save a human is a net win...
