HawHawHaw!
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.
“Seeing a lot of folks getting banned from Trump’s Truth Social for posting updates about the January 6 Committee hearings,” Max Burns, communications director for New York State Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, tweeted Friday. “Apparently free speech has its limits even in Trumpland.”
Also Friday morning, another Twitter user reported, “Just put out my
first post on Truth social and they deleted it. Real freedom of speech
champs there.”
Truth Social’s terms of service state, “We reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use
of the service (including blocking certain IP addresses), to any person
for any reason or for no reason… We may terminate your use or
participation in the service or delete [your account and] any content or information that you posted at any time, without warning, in our sole discretion.” (Twitter’s terms of service include similar language.) In the U.S., under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, internet platforms like Truth Social have legal protections for their content-moderation decisions — a carve-out that Trump unsuccessfully
sought to revoke when he occupied the White House.

If it’s good for the goose…
After 14 months, Fido is still a moron, and the orange goon is still waiting for his handcuffs.
