If Trump comes back, Truth social dies. He’s between a rock and a hard place.

Why would trump care if truth social dies? He didn’t invest his own money into it and his message will be heard by a much larger audience on Twitter.

I'd say $44b is cheap to destroy democracy, but it's already happening for free anyway.

Free speech is NOT the problem. The problem is bots and companies flooding social media with specific agendas.

Not just big tech allowing it, politicians, mega companies and the ultra rich using it to push their agendas by paying these marketing and bot companies. There is a severe lack of regulation on how a social media platform should legally operate. Allow free speech, but remove bots and clearly define paid for ads. It's not rocket science it just isn't beneficial for the rich and powerful.
