Longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone says he’s being censored on the former president’s social media platform Truth Social, The Daily Beast reports.
This Saturday, Stone took to the platform — which bills itself as a bastion for free speech — and wrote, “Trump also warns again a growing threat of terrorism by radical Islam mix in the predicted the 9/11 attack.” Truth Social’s algorithms flagged the post and applied a “sensitive content” warning, saying that the post “may not be suitable for all audiences.”
After the post was flagged, Stone wrote a follow-up post decrying the action.
“Why would this be censored content on TruthSocial?” Stone wrote.
As The Daily Beast points out, other Trump-supporting users say they’ve been censored on the platform.
Truth Social has seen plummeting traffic numbers since its February launch. As The Wrap reported last month, the platform has experienced a 93 percent drop in new users stumbling onto the platform. “We estimate that Truth Social has so far reached approximately 1.2 million installs since its launch,” a spokesperson told The Wrap.
