Summary

When Donald Trump announced he was creating a social media app to disrupt big-tech, Rob had mixed feelings but he believed that many companies and the centralisation of media did and still does need to be disrupted. Listen in to this episode to hear why he had these thoughts and how the app is doing now. KEY TAKEAWAYS The app has been branded a failure because there is a waiting list of over a million and it doesn’t even work on android, among various other issues. De-platforming and cancel culture is rife across social media and this is why Rob believes we need to see the de-centralisation of social media. If we continue to allow social media to have this much power over free-speech then we are giving them too much control, over more than just what people post on Facebook, but the political landscape as well.

When Donald Trump announced that he was launching a brand new social media app called Truth

to disrupt big tech social media, I had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, it cost billions probably to launch a social media app.

Going against the likes of Facebook and Twitter, this is a bold move.

need to be disrupted.

I do think that we need to move away from centralisation and globalisation

and mainstream media more towards decentralisation, owning our own data,

1:10.0

moving away from cancel culture, being deplatformed and being censored.

And of course whether you love Donald Trump or not, he faced the full force

1:22.0

of big tech cancelling and deplatforming and censorship.

1:28.0
