Former US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday he’s launching a new media company with its own social media platform, after he was banned from Twitter and suspended from Facebook after his supporters stormed the US Capitol.

Trump Media & Technology Group and its “TRUTH Social” app is to create a rival to the big tech companies that have shut him out and denied him the megaphone that was paramount to his national rise.

 “I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American president has been silenced. This is unacceptable,” Trump said in a statement, adding that the platform was “founded with a mission to give a voice to all.

“I’m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn’t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!” Trump said in a statement.

Trump and his team of advisors have dropped hints for months that he might launch his own social media app to rival Facebook and Twitter.

According to the press release, TRUTH Social is currently available for pre-order in the Apple App store, and a beta version will be available to invited guests starting in November 2021. A nationwide rollout is expected in the first quarter of 2022, the release said.

The release also noted TMTG intends to launch a subscription video-on-demand service which would feature “non-woke” entertainment programming, news and podcasts.
