Despite looking very similar to Twitter, Donald Trump's new Truth Social platform may be safe from copyright infringement lawsuits, legal experts say.

The former president's new social media platform was launched on the Apple App Store on Monday, with a full rollout expected by late March.

It had long been reported that Truth Social may look very similar to the social network that banned Trump in the wake of the January 6 riot. However, the launch proved that Truth Social's interface is even closer to that of Twitter than other self-styled "free speech" platforms such as Gab, Gettr and Parler.

  • Truth Social, a new social media platform backed by former President Donald Trump, sat at the top of Apple's download charts for free apps as of Tuesday morning.
  • The platform unveiled a soft launch late Sunday, according to Reuters, with many users prompted to join a waitlist.
  • The app is a product of the Trump Media & Technology Group, led by former Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

Digital World Acquisition Corp. , the so-called blank check group tied to former President Donald Trump's nascent media company, surged higher Tuesday after the 'Truth Social' app topped all downloads on Apple's online store.

The launch of the app on Presidents' Day marked nearly a year after Trump was permanently suspended from several social media platforms, including Twitter , Facebook and YouTube , following his role in inciting the violent protestors who stormed Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.

The app, which was developed by Trump Media & Technology Group, is finding technical support and financial backing from the right-wing YouTube rival Rumble, as well as conservative investors such as former Facebook board member Peter Thiel.

Truth Social will be using Hive Automated content moderation solutions to monitor comments and content on the platform.

The wait time is long, it is very long.

The app, went live on 21 February to coincide with Presidents’ Day, it was opened to hundreds of testers on Friday ahead of the expected launch. 

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), is behind the development of the app, we have pledged to deliver an “engaging and censorship-free experience” on the platform.

It remains to be seen whether the app’s goal of freedom of expression can co-exist with Apple’s and Google’s app store policies and how much the platform will have to censor it's users.

Beta testing for Trump Media & Technology Group's 'TRUTH Social' is underway, a source said.

EXCLUSIVE: The servers for former President Donald Trump's TRUTH Social are up and running and will have the platform fully operational by the expected end-of-quarter launch date, FOX Business has learned.

Sources familiar told FOX Business that beta testing for the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) TRUTH Social is also underway, and that the average user in the United States can expect to download the app and create accounts by the end of March.

A statement from President Trump, Chairman of TMTG: Press Release – February 4, 2022

Facebook and Big Tech are seeking to destroy the Freedom Convoy of Truckers. The Freedom Convoy is peacefully protesting the harsh policies of far left lunatic Justin Trudeau who has destroyed Canada with insane Covid mandates. Now, thankfully, the Freedom Convoy could be coming to DC with American Truckers who want to protest Biden’s ridiculous Covid policies. Facebook is canceling the accounts of Freedom Convoy USA, and GoFundMe is denying access to funds that belong to the Freedom Convoy. This is unacceptable and extremely dangerous in any country that values free expression. TruthSocial is announcing today that we are welcoming the Freedom Convoy with open arms to communicate freely on TruthSocial when we launch – coming very soon! TruthSocial will fight back against Big Tech so we can protect our rights to free expression. Also, on top of everything, it is big news that Facebook daily users went down for the first time ever, people are tired of biased social media like Twitter and Facebook, and it’s showing in their numbers!
