Trump Sued Over Paid Access To Truth Social Posts
According to the complaint, many of Trump's 9,000 to 11,000 Truth Social posts and reposts during his second White House term were never followed by official White House statements.
Two US media groups, The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, have sued Donald Trump over his Truth Social platform's paid early access scheme. According to the lawsuit, subscribers can pay up to $100,000 per month for almost instantaneous access to Trump's messages, which can significantly impact market values. This service, called Truth API, was first unveiled in mid-July.
The lawsuit, filed in New York, describes the scheme as "extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional." It alleges that Trump stands to gain financially by giving market-moving government information to those willing to pay his personal company. Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs the platform, has dismissed concerns, stating they have signed up more than 10 customers.
The lawsuit claims that many of Trump's Truth Social posts during his second White House term were not followed by official White House statements. The plaintiffs are calling for an investigation into the matter, citing concerns over the potential for corruption and unequal access to information.
