Exclusive: Trump's Truth Social app set for release Monday in Apple App Store, per executive
Source: Reuters
In a series of posts late on Friday, a verified account for the network's chief product officer, listed as Billy B., answered questions on the app from people invited to use it during its test phase. One user asked him when the app, which has been available this week for beta testers, would be released to the public, according to screenshots viewed by Reuters.
"We're currently set for release in the Apple App store for Monday Feb. 21," the executive responded.
The launch would restore Trump's presence on social media more than a year after he was banned from Twitter Inc (TWTR.N), Facebook (FB.O) and Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) YouTube following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters, after he was accused of posting messages inciting violence.

This is just another example of trump trying to weasel his way around toward a goal from which he's been temporary blocked.

I'd suggest complaining WHEREVER there's a place and time and opportunity. Even in your own hometown newspaper. And ALL OVER social media.

To discourage advertising? There isn't any. It's subscription based.
To demand legal action? Nothing on the internet is regulated by FCC or any other agency.

(81,322 posts)If it were me, I'd start with my own reps - in the Senate and House. If there's enough of that kind of input, they'll have to take notice. It'll become "a thing." And then the chances that somebody in a power position might take note, or become interested, are greater.
If nothing's said, then nothing's done. And nothing changes.
I found a really choice quote that has actually helped keep me motivated. Used it in one of my Call to Action emails - they always start with a quote.
Yknow, from small acorns big trees grow!

Personally I can think of more important things for them to do.

They might make something that sorta works, but if theyre smart theyll install something to make it crash when they find out they wont get paid. And hell want all sorts of free upgrades. Get out the popcorn.

(285 posts)What if we were all to sign up and encourage every other democrat to do so? What if we posted facts instead of "truth" and deluged the site with our real thoughts and feelings about democracy, America, and Trump himself?
What if we invaded their safe space then complained across the rest of the social sphere when they cancelled us to silence our truth.
Just a thought.
