Former US President Donald Trump will launch his own social media app, TRUTH Social, that he said would 'stand up to Big Tech' companies such as Twitter and Facebook that have barred him from their platforms.

FILE PHOTO: Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms banned Trump from their services after hundreds of his supporters rioted at the US Capitol on January 6.Former US President Donald Trump will launch his own social media app, TRUTH Social, that he said would"stand up to Big Tech" companies such as Twitter and Facebook that have barred him from their platforms.

The social network, set for a beta launch next month and full rollout in the first quarter of 2022, is the first of three stages in the company's plans, followed by a subscription video-on-demand service called TMTG+ that will feature entertainment, news and podcasts, according to the news release. "For so long, Big Tech has suppressed conservative voices," the former president's son, Donald Trump Jr., told Fox News in an interview."Tonight my father signed a definitive merger agreement to form what will ultimately be the Trump Media and Technology Group and TRUTH Social - a platform for everyone to express their feelings."

The deal will list Trump Media & Technology Group on Nasdaq through a merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp, a blank-check acquisition firm led by former investment banker Patrick Orlando. But none of the SPACs have completed a deal yet. A China-based SPAC that Orlando led failed last month to complete a merger with Giga Energy Inc that would have valued the transportation solutions provider at $7.3bn, because it could not deliver the cash required, according to regulatory filings.
