Former President Donald Trump's conservative social media platform—ironically titled TRUTH Social—has had a rough rollout. The site has seen abysmal records of new signups, still outpaced by competing conservative social media platforms like GETTR and Parler.

It's even facing backlash from some of Trump's most devout allies, such as convicted felon and right-wing provocateur Roger Stone.


Like most other right-wing social media platforms, TRUTH Social boasts minimal moderation and emphasizes its value of so-called "free speech," presenting it as an alternative to supposedly liberal outlets like Twitter, which conservatives claim seek to silence their voices.

But Stone, whose sentence Trump commuted shortly before leaving office in 2021, now says the former President's social media platform is censoring him, according to a new report from The Daily Beast.

Stone recently published a TRUTH Social post featuring a Trump 2000 campaign button and a quote about "radical Islam" that implied Trump predicted the September 11 Attacks.

This prompted the site's artificial content monitors to put a "sensitive content" warning over the picture before it could be revealed.

Stone wrote:

"Why would this be censored content on TruthSocial?"

But accusations of censorship aren't limited to Truth Social. A number of conservative social media outlets emphasizing the free speech of its users, only to frustrate them with basic moderation. Pro-Trump writer Jon Miller, a Black man, publicly disavowed GETTR for not letting him use the N-word in his profile. Stone also accused GETTR of censorship after he was banned from the site, though founder and former Trump spokesperson Jason Miller insisted the ban was accidental.

Stone's latest lamentation has the internet amused.






They were particularly unsympathetic to Stone.



Awkward!

Ilhan Omar Claps Back Hard After Nancy Mace Tries To Insult Her With Bizarre Post Following Iran Attack

Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar clapped back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace attempted to insult her and Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib after President Donald Trump ordered an attack on various sites in Iran on Saturday morning that killed Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top officials.

Omar and Tlaib were the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Both have faced repeated attacks from members of the Republican Party tied to their religion, including being labeled part of the so-called “Jihad Squad,” a term suggesting they are sympathetic to extremism or seek to impose Islamist rule in the United States.

Pete Hegseth Ripped After Trying To Claim That The U.S. 'Didn't Start This War' With Iran

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he claimed that the U.S. "didn't start this war" with Iran—just days after the Trump administration authorized an attack on various sites in Iran with the joint efforts of Israel over the weekend.

The war against Iran is already spreading beyond its initial battlefield. Iranian reprisals have struck Gulf states hosting U.S. bases—including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia—while Hezbollah has entered the fight, firing rockets into Israel and ending a month-long ceasefire.

'SNL' Turns Trump Diss About U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team On Its Head With Sweet Monologue Moment

Connor Storrie’s debut Saturday Night Live monologue had just about everything: jokes, a childhood throwback, a few perfectly placed Heated Rivalry innuendos, and—because this is apparently the most athletic season in Studio 8H history—both the gold-winning players from the U.S. men’s and women’s Olympic hockey teams.

The appearance came just days after controversy over invitations to the White House and President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, giving the night an edge that felt bigger than a typical celebrity-cameo parade.
