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!

Woman Says What We're All Thinking About Trump Deploying ICE To Airports In Blistering Interview

A woman interviewed at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has gone viral for her response to reporters who asked for her thoughts about President Donald Trump's announcement that he would deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.

Stephen Miller Caught On Camera Letting Out Heavy Sigh As Trump Tries To Justify Iran War

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was caught on camera letting out a heavy sigh as President Donald Trump spoke at a Memphis Safe Task Force roundtable in Tennessee about his ever-changing justifications for going to war with Iran.

A WSMV 4 Nashville broadcast showed Miller briefly turning his head and letting out a sigh as Trump described Iran’s missile capabilities as “growing so fast” that the U.S. needed to act before it became “virtually impossible to stop them.” Miller then composed himself and faced forward again toward the president, who was seated at center stage.

Video Of ICE Detaining Sobbing Mom At San Francisco Airport As Her Young Daughter Watched Has People Seeing Red

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's administration is coming under fire again over White nationalist White House advisor Stephen Miller's immigration guidance.

Campaigning on a promise to deport violent criminals, the Trump administration has instead become the violent (often masked) aggressors that Americans fear. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees have repeatedly targeted individuals without warrants or just cause based solely on racial profiling, denied people's constitutional rights, and killed people in their detention centers and on the streets with impunity.
