The clown show that is Donald Trump’s Truth Social continues with news that users are being punted from the site if they talk about the January 6th insurrection. Which goes against the platform’s promise of free speech:
The irony is rich: Truth Social, Donald Trump’s Twitter copycat claiming it is “free from political discrimination,” has reportedly banned users who posted information from Thursday’s congressional hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — in which the former president is a key focus.
That’s according to several posts on Twitter by users who claimed Truth Social was censoring them. Reps for Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns and operates Truth Social, did not respond to a request for comment.
Travis Allen, whose Twitter bio describes him as an information security analyst, on Thursday evening posted a screenshot from the Truth Social app that said “Account suspended,” and he wrote: “My Truth Social account was just permanently suspended for talking about the January 6th Committee hearings.”
He added, “So much for ‘free speech.’ This is censorship!” Allen did not provide details about what allegedly led to Truth Social kicking him off the platform.
While it is their right to punt people from the platform that violate their terms of service, it seems that Donald Trump and his lackeys are afraid of free speech. And they just want their own view of the universe on the Truth Social platform. Talk about being a bunch of snowflakes. This is yet another reason why this platform will simply crash and burn. And I think Trump and company are aware of that:
As of March 31, 2022, Trump Media & Technology Group had not generated any revenue to date and has warned investors that “TMTG may never generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.” Sarasota, Fla.-based TMTG had approximately 40 full-time employees as of the end of March, per a regulatory filing by Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that intends to merge with TMTG.
What this means is that these snowflakes will be out of business sooner or later. Which means that Truth Social will be a very minor footnote in history as a result.

Trump’s Truth Social Promised Free Speech… But You’ll Get Punted From The Platform If You Talk About January 6th…. So Much For Free Speech
