Trump's purported freespeech socialmedia platform, Truth Social, is hiding user posts, threatening to create a curated 'echo chamber,' research group finds
"Former President Donald Trump's social-media company, Truth Social, has marketed itself as a "free speech haven" that cherishes free expression.
But since its rocky start when it partially launched in February, its moderators have removed or limited the visibility of users' posts, often without explanation, according to a new investigation from the nonprofit left-leaning consumer-advocacy organization Public Citizen.
The removed or limited posts included anti-Trump content about the US House investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as well as posts supporting abortion rights. It also blocked content that didn't have any clear anti-Trump or anti-conservative message, the report says."
