Truth Social is former President Trump’s alternative social media site meant to combat Big Tech companies like Facebook and Twitter, which he claimed through his presidency and now silences and censors conservative and right-leaning voices and perspectives.
Trump was banned from Twitter shortly after the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot as he continued to push claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
