Your cousin John from California is a die-hard liberal … Although we don’t always agree with each other, we welcome these varied opinions and the robust conversation they bring. Aunt Kellie from Texas is a staunch conservative. Uncle Jim from Atlanta is a proud libertarian. Who’s there? The combination of multiple families from all over the United States, and the world. Think of a giant outdoor event tent at your best friend’s wedding. It has adopted a so-called “ big tent” approach. But it does appear to be trying to distance itself from being perceived as hard right. Only time will tell whether Truth Social can avoid the mistakes made by other similar platforms. This is something previous Twitter alternatives Parler, Gab and Gettr all failed to do. Success will depend on Truth Social attracting a spectrum of political views from a substantial number of users. It remains to be seen whether Devin Nunes, who heads up T Media Tech LLC, can avoid the platform becoming stridently right-wing and being delisted. Parler: what you need to know about the 'free speech' Twitter alternative This hard-right Twitter clone was delisted by Apple and Google for hosting comments that incited violence during the pro-Trump riots at the US Capitol in January 2021. If it is to survive, it must avoid the fate of Parler. However, as the platform is reliant on Apple and Google distributing it on their app stores, it’s unlikely the Truth Social platform can afford to become a mouthpiece for the far-right, as Gab has become. In the case of Truth Social, most of the opinions and ideas expressed will likely fall within the right of the political spectrum – everything from hardcore alt-right ideologies, to those slightly right of centre.
It could be argued his 57,000 Tweets helped in no small way to make him the 45th President of the United States.ĭespite being permanently banned, Trump's prolific Twitter record lives on In a 2019 interview, Twitter cofounder Evan Williams described Trump as a “master of the platform”. It’s also no accident Truth Social’s user interface closely resembles that of Twitter: the platform used to greatest effect by Trump. It’s a game-changer in the high-stakes world of politics. It was used in the now infamous Cambridge Analytica scandal which, as evidence suggests, could have aided Trump’s victory in the 2016 US presidential elections.īig data analytics is advancing fast, made possible by ever-smarter algorithms, larger datasets and more powerful computers. And the technology for it already exists. The legalities of this practice would have been carefully vetted to be on the right side of the law (morally questionable as it may be). Having such richly textured information puts Truth Social in a position not only to learn about users’ opinions and behaviours, but also to target them with personalised political messaging. Potential implications of data collection This suggests they are, in fact, personally identifiable. However, while these data are described as not being linked to a user’s identity, they nonetheless include the user’s email address and ID. The platform will also gather “non-identifiable” data on how the user interacts with the application – supposedly to analyse usage patterns and personalise the user’s experience. Importantly, this information will be linked to the user’s identity. Truth Social’s developer, the Trump Media and Technology Group (or T Media Tech LLC), said the platform will routinely collect data about users’ browsing history, contact information (including their phone number) and any pictures or videos they post.
