Truth Social Launches Tomorrow

He continues to go back to a dry well.

So we have established that the government did not instruct Facebook to ban certain individuals. Good to jnow we can agree on that.

But now the argument is that Facebook were coerced by the government to ban individuals? In what way did they put the frighteners on Facebook?

Are we not grasping at straws to try and create a narrative that the government is trampling on free speech?

Pretty much every other state with affirmative free speech rights has rejected Pruneyard as a standard.

California itself has narrowed the scope of Pruneyard over the years and came close to overturning it once. There are still test cases out there designed to do so.

But yep I was wrong…there are people willing to keep going back to that dry well…

This growth phase was predicted really accurately.

The second, and most significant, challenge TMTG will face is the inevitable and unrelenting attacks from the extraordinarily wealthy and powerful “Big Tech” oligarchy and its allies. They will attack TMTG from both a business competition standpoint and from a political philosophy standpoint. Specifically, Big Tech may prohibit TMTG from accessing the servers (or tech stack) it will require, they may remove TRUTH Social from App Stores, and they may cut off TMTG’s ability to access and raise money electronically (as they often do through companies such as Stripe, GoFundMe and even Big Banks to some extent, see links for examples), to name just a few.

TRUTH Social: $1 Trillion In 10 Years Is Feasible (NASDAQ:DWAC) | Seeking Alpha

Looks like TS is ahead of schedule thanks to the Garland Biden raid.

Okay, Truth Social is doing super.

He quoted an article from LAST YEAR.

Lololol!

Camp · August 31, 2022, 4:48pm

Just throwing out alternate mud.

Camp · August 31, 2022, 4:49pm

That is more impressive.

Think about it.

JayJay · August 31, 2022, 4:54pm

No it’s not.

Situation has changed.

Obvious cash flow problems.
And the prediction of a $1T market cap was just that…a prediction.

Since this “bold prediction”, shares of DWAC are off by 52%.

In other words, its value has been cut in half.

And that’s with TS actually having launched.

Yeah the whole town square argument is bollocks.

And when was the last time you saw people congregating in the town square to show off their cute cats doing stupid things? Hell when was the last time we saw an actual town square?

Come to my town, we have a town square, on Friday’s the local street rod community cruises the square with their cars and park. We have a main Courthouse built in the late 1800’s with a wall around it where we can all sit. Across from the Courthouse we have small business in buildings that were built around the same time period.

Our town does quite a bit centered around this area throughout the year.

Many smaller towns and communities have that but how many times are politicians using those events to have discourse with the public. Let me guess all your local reps frequent these events for an exchange of ideas……

The argument is that social media has no business in banning individuals for political opinions because they are the new town square. Which is complete bollocks.

even in “town squares” there are rules. I start running around being abusive to people and making a nuisance of myself I am going to be ejected. Talk about rioting and trying to incite individuals the police are going to move me on.

Not in the way you are describing, our state rep often holds “roundtables” at local resturants though. Our federal, I don’t remember one making a local stop. Was basically saying town squares DO still exist.

Yea local pols here do similar things but the restaurant owner still has the right to refuse admission to someone. For example if I walk in, order a meal and then start heckling those talking to the politician I will be asked to leave and rightly so.

No the government didn’t instruct them to ban an actual individual in that instance, more a subject. But they did pressure twitter to ban Alex Berenson. Keep defending actual fascists

Trumplicans got scammed again by the grift. Who actually believed a former dairy farmer could run a tech company?

Munimula1 · September 6, 2022, 2:39pm

This doesn’t sound good.

Orygun · September 6, 2022, 4:29pm

Wait how much does it cost to run this company? It cant be that much. Has Trump decided not to put any of his money into it himself?

But he’s great at business!

…

"According to a report from the Washington Post, prospects that Donald Trump’s Truth Social will survive are growing bleak with the company that had planned to take the social media platform public now suggesting that a probable bankruptcy is on the horizon.

As the report points out, Truth Social has not been paying for web-hosting fees to the point where attorneys are now involved, traffic is collapsing, the value of stock in the company is plunging and money is running out.

With the Post reporting, “Former president Donald Trump’s Truth Social website is facing financial challenges as its traffic remains puny and the company that is scheduled to acquire it expresses fear that his legal troubles could lead to a decline in his popularity,” WaPo’s Drew Harwell wrote that the former president’s legal problems have added another cloud of Truth Social’s future."

Nemesis · September 6, 2022, 5:34pm

Deep State, Government censorship, RINOs, Socialist Global Agenda, Soros , Clinton, Obama etc etc etc.

Should Truth Social fail the above will be the excuses trotted out because Trump being at fault or not a good businessman is unthinkable to his flock.

DisturbedGuy · September 6, 2022, 5:37pm

Maybe a dairy farmer wasn’t a good pick to run a tech company. Trump picks only the best people.

Investors are walking away from commitments to invest in a company that planned to merge with Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform. “Blank-check” company Digital World Acquisition said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Friday that some backers were pulling a total of $139 million they had planned to put into the deal. Digital World had previously announced funding commitments of $1 billion.
