Many users reported either having
trouble registering for an account or
were added to a waitlist.
Donald Trump’s new social media
venture, Truth Social, launched late
on Sunday in Apple’s App Store,
potentially marking the former
president’s return to social media
after he was banned from several
platforms last year.
The app was available shortly before
midnight ET (0500GMT) and was the
top free app available on the App
Store early Monday. Truth Social
was automatically downloaded to
Apple Inc devices of users who had
pre-ordered the app.
Many users reported either having
trouble registering for an account or
were added to a waitlist with a
message: “Due to massive demand,
we have placed you on our waitlist.”
The app has been available for
people invited to use it during its
test phase, Reuters news agency
previously reported.
Trump was banned from Twitter Inc,
Facebook and Alphabet Inc’s
YouTube following the January 6,
2021 attack on the US Capitol by his
supporters, after he was accused of
posting messages inciting violence.
Led by former Republican US
Representative Devin Nunes , Trump
Media & Technology Group (TMTG),
the venture behind Truth Social ,
joins a growing portfolio of
technology companies that are
positioning themselves as champions
of free speech and hope to draw
users who feel their views are
suppressed on more established
platforms.
So far none of the newer companies,
which include Twitter competitors
Gettr and Parler and video site
Rumble, have come close to
matching the popularity of their
mainstream counterparts.
“This week we will begin to roll out
on the Apple App Store. That’s going
to be awesome, because we’re going
to get so many more people that are
going to be on the platform,” Nunes
said in a Sunday appearance on Fox
News’ Sunday Morning Futures with
Maria Bartiromo.
“Our goal is, I think we’re going to
hit it, I think by the end of March
we’re going to be fully operational at
least within the United States,” he
added.
Truth Social’s app store page
detailing its version history showed
the first public version of the app, or
version 1.0 was available a day ago,
confirming a Reuters news agency
report. The current version 1.0.1
includes “bug fixes”, according to
the page.
On Friday, Nunes was on the app
urging users to follow more
accounts, share photos and videos
and participate in conversations, in
an apparent attempt to drum up
activity, according to a person with
knowledge of the matter.
Among Nunes’ posts, he welcomed a
new user who appeared to be a
Catholic priest and encouraged him
to invite more priests to join,
according to the person with
knowledge of the matter.
Even as details of the app begin
trickling out, TMTG remains mostly
shrouded in secrecy and is regarded
with scepticism by some in tech and
media circles. It is unclear, for
example, how the company is
funding its current growth.
TMTG is planning to list in New York
through a merger with blank-check
firm Digital World Acquisition Corp
(DWAC) and stands to receive $293
million in cash that DWAC holds in a
trust, assuming no DWAC
shareholder redeems their shares,
TMTG said in an October 21 press
release.
Additionally, in December TMTG
raised $1bn committed financing
from private investors; that money
also will not be available until the
DWAC deal closes.
Digital World’s activities have come
under scrutiny from the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the
US Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, according to a regulatory
filing, and the deal is likely months
away from closing. DWAC is headed
by a Florida-based capitalist who has
ties to an investment vehicle in
Wuhan, China, the filing said.
