The Problems of Social Truth
Donald Trump opened this platform a year after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for allegedly inciting or glorifying violence during the unrest in the US capital.
However, since its debut in February this year, the social network’s downloads have declined. In the first week after launch, it totaled 866,000 installs, compared to just 60,000 in the week of March 14, according to Sensor Tower.
Currently, the social network seems to have reached its maximum user capacity, with around 1.5 million users on a waiting list in the US, although it is only available for the iOS operating system.
“I created Truth Social to stand up to the tyranny of big tech,” Trump said of the platform; however, his activity within the network has been practically nil since he has only one publication that he has published since February 14th.
Other problems that the platform has had, according to the sources consulted, have to do with its political orientation, since it has restricted the hiring of staff, in addition to the fact that several employees have expressed their concerns about security, particularly on the issue have expressed that they can be attacked by hackers.
