Ex-President Trump was kicked off of Twitter and Facebook for repeated violations of terms of service, engaging in hate speech, saying lies about the 2020 Presidential election, and a whole lot more. He is widely known to be an unrepentant repeat liar of huge proportions. He has launched a new media business, TRUTH Social, that promises to be an open and free global discussion. But, "TRUTH", really? Trump? Truth?

The press release below outlines the business plan, which is that Trump Media & Technology Group is working with Digital World Acquisition Corp to immediately become a publicly traded company. DWAC is what's known as a SPAC, which is a company that had been explicitly formed for bringing other companies into the stock market.

The purpose for this company, TMTG, is to launch a social network site that will be "a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the “Big Tech” companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America."

Trump Media & Technology Group is all about Donald Trump, of course

Of course, since it is a Donald Trump business, it has to be all about him. According to the press release HE (Donald J Trump) "created TRUTH Social and TMTG" (since when did Donald Trump become able to write software?). He (Donald Trump) did all this for the altruistic purpose of standing up to the "tyranny of Big Tech". It's such a travesty, according to Donald J. Trump, that "the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter" but "your favorite American President has been silenced."

It's all about him, of course.

In addition to the social network, there will be a "subscription video on demand service" that will carry "‘non-woke’ entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more."

Will TRUTH Social actually promote open, free and honest global conversation?

Since this social network is about the "tyranny" of the existing social media networks, we are promised this:

TRUTH Social is America’s “Big Tent” social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.

That's refreshing to hear Donald Trump want to hear all points of view. As President, during press conferences, he routinely answered questions from journalists by insulting them, and frequently in his rallies he'd point at the journalists at the back and label them all enemies of the people. But, now, he wants his social network to be a "Big Tent" allowing an open and honest conversation without discrimination.

To check on that, lets look at the terms of service. They're copied below, which I believe to be an exercise of "fair use", meaning that I have duplicated their content in order to discuss the content, as well as to maintain a record of that content should it change in the future. Most of it is fairly normal, for example we're not supposed to reverse engineer or copy the code of the site, and so forth.

For a site that's supposed to be about open discussion, there are a long list of PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. Most of them make sense. For example we're prohibited from systematically copying data from the site, trying to make lists of e-mail addresses, and even examining the site to launch a competing site.

harass, annoy, intimidate, or threaten any of our employees or agents engaged in providing any portion of the Site to you.

disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.

These two prohibitions stand out as a small barrier to open discussion. We're free to say what we want, until we "disparage" the staff? And is there an objective measure of what is disparaging or tarnishing? Oh, wait, that's determined by "in our opinion".

The real kicker comes in the SITE MONITORING AND RESTRICTIONS section. The staff will "monitor the Site for violations of these Terms of Service;", which is of course their right, and they are required to do so. They will then take action against anyone, by their sole discretion, anyone who "violates the law or these Terms of Service". Any such person could potentially be turned over to law enforcement authorities. And, most importantly, there is this:

in our sole discretion and without limitation, refuse, restrict access to, limit the availability of, or disable (to the extent technologically feasible) your access or any of your contributions or any portion thereof

In other words, they will ban whoever they feel like banning, in their own discretion. The banning includes disabling access, or disabling postings.

So... Donald Trump has been banned from Twitter and Facebook because of repeated terms of service violations. The record is extremely clear on that. Then, he wants to launch a new social network, TRUTH, that is an open discussion form accepting of all opinions. But the terms of service reserve the right to ban anyone for whatever reason they wish.

Announcing Trump Media & Technology Group

Statements by Donald J. Trump

“PALM BEACH, FL — October 20, 2021 — Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC) have entered into a definitive merger agreement, providing for a business combination that will result in Trump Media & Technology Group becoming a publicly listed company, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval. The transaction values Trump Media & Technology Group at an initial enterprise value of $875 Million, with a potential additional earnout of $825 Million in additional shares (at the valuation they are granted) for a cumulative valuation of up to $1.7 Billion depending on the performance of the stock price post-business combination. Trump Media & Technology Group’s growth plans initially will be funded by DWAC’s cash in trust of $293 Million (assuming no redemptions).

Trump Media & Technology Group’s mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the “Big Tech” companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.

Trump Media & Technology Group (“TMTG”) will soon be launching a social network, named “TRUTH Social.” TRUTH Social is now available for Pre-Order in the Apple App store. TRUTH Social plans to begin its Beta Launch for invited guests in November 2021. A nationwide rollout is expected in the first quarter of 2022. Those who are interested in joining TRUTH Social may now visit www.truthsocial.com to sign up for the invite list.

President Donald J. Trump, the Chairman of TMTG, stated, “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. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!”

Patrick E Orlando, Chairman/CEO of DWAC, stated, “Digital World was formed to create public shareholder value and we believe that TMTG is one of the most promising business combination partners to fulfill that purpose. DWAC currently has $293 Million in trust, assuming minimal redemptions, which can fuel TMTG’s scale up, including to provide world class leading technology services to build strong and secure social networks and diverse media offerings. Given the total addressable market and President Trump’s large following, we believe the TMTG opportunity has the potential to create significant shareholder value.”

Additionally, TMTG intends to launch a subscription video on demand service (TMTG+). TMTG+ will feature ‘non-woke’ entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more. TMTG has named Scott St. John as the leader of TMTG+ Corporate Operations. Scott St. John is the Executive Producer of “Deal or No Deal’ and “America’s Got Talent” and has produced over 1,000 hours of Network and Cable TV.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement and other documents to be filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while TMTG and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Neither of TMTG or the Company gives any assurance that TMTG or the Company, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
