WASHINGTON: Former US President Donald
Trump announced plans Wednesday to launch his own social networking platform called "
TRUTH Social," which is expected to begin its beta launch for "invited guests" next month.
The platform will be owned by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which also intends to launch a subscription video on demand service that will feature "non-woke" entertainment programming, the group said in a statment.
"I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the
Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable," Trump was quoted as saying in the statement.
