Former US President Donald Trump is planning to return to social media. Trump plans to build his own platform, one of his senior advisors disclosed. This is after he was banned from major social networks which included: Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Shopify.
Trump’s senior advisor, Jason Miller, told Fox News on Sunday that the former US president will launch a new social website within the next two or three months.
“I do think that we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media probably about two or three months here, with his own platform,” Miller stated adding that the new platform “will attract tens of millions of people.”
Trump was banned from major social media for alleged policy violations, where he repeatedly claimed that US elections were rigged in favor of his opponent, Joe Biden. After ban, his supporters shifted base to right-wing Parler.
Parler was then removed from Apple App store and Google Play Store over lack of user data privacy policies and possible violence-inciting posts. In January, Trump Junior tried to appeal SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to build a new platform to accommodate his father’s views.
Facebook, Twitter and other tech platforms have been scrutinized for the manner in which they handle accounts of government officials and politicians following the ban of Trump.
Last week Twitter divulged that it would seek public opinion on how and when it should ban world leaders. The firm stated that it was reviewing its policy to determine whether the leaders should be subjected to the same regulations as other users.
