Trump sued over Truth Social’s $100,000 early access service
Donald Trump is being sued by two US media groups over a new Truth Social service that charges up to $100,000 a month for early access to his posts.
Two US media groups, The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, are suing Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) over a new service offered on Truth Social. The service, called Truth API, charges up to $100,000 a month for subscribers to receive Trump's posts seconds before they are available to the general public. The lawsuit argues that charging for priority access to the president's messages is "extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional", describing it as a "scheme" and a money-making opportunity.
TMTG has dismissed the lawsuit as being brought by "left-wing activists" seeking to censor the president and accused the plaintiffs of violating Truth Social's terms of service.
