Trump’s New Social Network Is Already Breaking the Terms of Its Software License
Truth Social, the so-called anti-Big Tech, pro-free speech social media platform launched by Donald Trump, has already gone dark. It’s not because of hackers, either. It’s because the former president’s company allegedly violated the terms of its software agreement.
The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) is calling out former President Trump’s new social media network, claiming that the company violated the rules of a free and open-source software licensing agreement, The Verge reported Friday. The SFC, a nonprofit organization that enforces these kinds of licenses, gave the network 30 days to comply with the terms or it will lose all rights to use the software.
