The news comes as Trump faces scrutiny for promoting companies on Truth Social that he bought stock in.

    When I hear about this it just confirms exactly how struggling American families and their children are never going to have the American dream. All of that wealth is going to these guys.

      Turns out that voters doing absolutely nothing to stop a self serving grifter rapist insurrectionist with a stated intention to do, and past record of doing just that, kinda does that.

      But try telling the sitouts that.

    I don’t understand. It takes a fraction of a second to publish a post. Are they adding a delay to his posts, and then charging a fee to get them instantly? This article has like 2 dozen paragraphs and yet never explains.

      Publishing the post sure.

      But propagating notification alerts to followers isn’t reliably that fast.

      Having a paid queue to be alerted first makes sense technically.

      Huge ethical issues though. This is clearly just corruption. Pay me money and you’ll get insider trading information that won’t actually be called that.

      Maybe. Or maybe they’re just charging a vig for nothing.

      Given how poor the site is built and managed, either is possible.
