On Trump's new social network, TRUTH Social, you can post TRUTHs, which are like tweets, or Re-TRUTHs, which are retweets. There's also a TRUTH Feed and notifications so you can know who’s interacting with your TRUTH’s
Trump's social network is where families will come together to have an amazing time and share their viewpoints of the world. "We welcome these varied opinions," Trump's social network said apple.co/3DXCHyg
The Trump Media & Technology Group's pitch deck definitely includes all of the relevant historical events concerning political segmentation between October 1996 and Jan. 8, 2021
Love to watch a quick Gettr GVision vid with my friends during the non-woke commercial breaks for TMTG+
Trump's social network TRUTH Social has a rule banning "excessive use of capital letters":
Trump is definitely not mad over losing his Twitter account. Also the Trump Media & Technology Group's pitch desk has 3 separate slides that state his peak Twitter follower count bit.ly/3lYWzuA
Anyone can create an account on Trump's social network TRUTH Social using a publicly available link. I literally just registered "mikepence." The site hasn't even launched yet and it's already this vulnerable
And here's @MikaelThalen aka TRUTH Social user donaldtrump:
@MikaelThalen Trump Jr. said on Fox News tonight that TRUTH Social is in "beta testing" for the next few weeks, with a full launch Q1 2022. I'm assuming "allow anyone to sign up as mikepence" is not a beta feature
@MikaelThalen Thank you TRUTH Social. Good to be here
@MikaelThalen The "donaldjtrump" account of Trump's TRUTH Social has already been hacked.
@MikaelThalen A hush falls upon TRUTH Social.
@MikaelThalen Ok, not quite a hack. Pranksters found an unreleased test version of what appeared to be Trump's social network site, made a fake account in Trump's name, and then used it to post the meme image "Pig Poop Balls." Just bringing you the important news, folks
New: Our full story on the early mess inside Trump's social network, TRUTH Social, which pranksters already defaced. The site bans criticism of itself, clings to Section 230 and adopts many other measures Trump has criticized Big Tech for: wapo.st/3aYRfkU
Other TRUTH Social weird stuff:
* Its App Store listing has lots of official logos & fake posts from companies like Chevy, which tells me they have "no affiliation" with the site
* It can ban you for posting too many capital letters. Damn cancel culture wapo.st/3aYRfkU
More news: The founder of Mastodon, the open-source software Trump's site is built on, says it may be in violation of rules. He's contacted legal counsel. They couldn't take the site down, but "avenues to take action still exist through legal proceedings" wapo.st/3aYRfkU

@Fahrenthold But wait, there's more. Trump's social network shut down the other test site, but smart people on the Internet ran a search of its favicon and found another test domain, which I was just able to create a fake account for. This security is ... not great! wapo.st/3aYRfkU
@Fahrenthold They loaded up hundreds of old Trump posts (sorry, Truths) and have been Favoriting and ReTruthing them. Love to leave my test software out in the open for several months
@Fahrenthold Here are some accounts of people who appear to be working on the unreleased TRUTH Social site. Also, a fake ESPN profile? I promise you, it is possible to build a website without exposing all of this on the public Internet
@Fahrenthold Someone on the team building Trump's social network also appears to have made a "Fake Hunter Biden" account: "Home videographer. 3 baby mamas. Crackhead." Classy.
@Fahrenthold Here's their public buglist. Maybe missing a bug or two
@Fahrenthold Update: The @nytimes says the Trump social network's usage of NYT branding in its App Store listing "is unauthorized and we've been in touch with them" wapo.st/3aYRfkU
@Fahrenthold @nytimes Update: The second (totally unsecured) test site for Trump's social network, which showed how his team had created fake accounts for Trump and Hunter Biden, has been taken offline. It looked like this:
