Creative inspiration appears to have been based on the platform that kicked him out.
Internet users criticize that the network is going to collect the promised “freedom of expression”.
The first screenshots of Truth Social were seenwith an unoriginal design that has caused a stir among Internet users.
After being banned from platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, after the capture of the Capitol in 2021, the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, decided to open his own social network focused “on freedom of expression”.
However, although the service promised to “be different” and with lax policies for those who live in the digital environment, many users have highlighted the hidden objectives of the businessman, whom they accuse of making a big deal with the motto of “no censorship”.
In October the beta version of Truth Social was presented (available only to some users) and the former US President would have indicated that his mission would be focused on informing, communicating and fighting the liberal media consortium and fighting against the big technology companies .
“I am excited to be submitting my first truth on Truth Social very soon. TMTG (Trump Media & Technology Group) was founded with the mission of giving everyone a voice. (…) I created Truth Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban have a huge presence on Twitter, but their favorite American president has been silenced,” he said at the time.
Now, after months of being proposed, Donald Trump’s social network has its first publication and was promoted, ironically, on Twitter by the son of the former President.

Truth Social… are you Twitter?
Although details of Truth Socia are still unknown, the aesthetics and design of the platform does not leave much to the imagination, since the apparent operation and even the interaction buttons are almost identical to those of Twitter.
In fact, some users point out that it is an exact copy, with a verification signal, but a different identity color, in addition to the accommodation of shortcuts known as “retweet”, “share” and “like”, which in this case we do not know if they are called the same, the only reference that has been given in the name of the publications, or rather “truths”.
“Truth Social is a lot like Twitter. Basically, it’s Twitter, but where you can be racist and stuff. Ah, freedom of expression is priceless. It actually costs $4.99 a week. Yes, for just $260 a year, you can have freedom of expression too! Until they ban you for speaking freely against them.”
