Despite leaving the White House, former US President Donald Trump is still considered a highly influential figure in the Republican Party, hosting many events and still being active on his personal social networking sites. Over the years, social networking has been a powerful media tool and also Mr. Trump's favorite communication tool.
However, the 45th President of the United States was completely banned from social media after his supporters attacked and caused a serious riot in front of the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Previously, during his presidency, social media sites also faced a lot of pressure about whether to block his account or not, because his posts were often criticized for being provocative or spreading false information.

A post by Donald Trump claiming that Covid-19 is “less deadly” than the flu was removed by Facebook last year.
Now, Donald Trump has announced his new social network called "TRUTH Social"(Truth Social Network) -a name that sounds like the best promise of a world social network, but also seems to be mocking other social networking sites, especially Facebook, when this "giant" is facing many accusations related to harming the interests of users.
After announcing his new social network, Donald Trump declared: "I created TRUTH Social to fight against the tyranny of Big Tech." At the same time, he also affirmed that social media is a place where people can freely express their voices: "We live in a world where the Taliban has a strong presence on Twitter, yet your beloved president of the United States is silenced... This is unacceptable."
TMTG says its "video on demand" service will offer entertainment, news, podcasts and more, all in a 'non-woke' format, meaning it doesn't provide warnings about content that depicts social injustice and racial inequality.
TRUTH Social is a project launched by a new company, a combination of Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) and Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC).
Despite being the most used social platform in the world, Facebook has also had to live with the negative reputation that exists in the technology era that bears its name. Recently, perhapsThe worst time for Facebook, from technical problems to accusations of "putting profits above the interests of users". Even Mark Zuckerberg - the founder of this social network, has faced a lot of criticism from all over the world.
Due to the problems with Facebook, Mark needs to invest more in his turnaround plan and hopes that changing the company's name will be a new step in his path to domination and also change the company's bad reputation in the past. Mark is expected to officially announce the new name of Facebook at the company's annual Connect Conference on October 28th or maybe earlier.
Many people have called for a boycott of Facebook in the face of serious allegations surrounding the social network.
Returning to TRUTH Social, carrying with it a great ambition to confront Big Tech, this social platform is gaining the attention of a large number of social network users around the world, and many people have raised questions about how TRUTH Social will develop in the dominance that Facebook created before, and is still present until now.
