Former President Donald Trump is no stranger to game-changing moments.
He changed the entrepreneurial landscape as a business mogul, he changed reality television as an entertainment giant, and he forever changed politics with his Presidential campaigns and four years in the White House.
And now Trump has made one game-changing announcement that has YouTube executives fearing for their futures.
Donald Trump vs. Big Tech
Former President Donald Trump has won yet another victory over his political enemies in Big Tech.
The two sides have been trading battle wins since June of 2015 when Donald Trump first rode down the golden escalators of Trump Towers and announced he was running for the White House.
The anti-Trump leftwingers teamed up on social media, attempting to keep the real estate and entertainment mogul out of the Oval Office.
But Trump won that battle, defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
In the 2020 election cycle, a last-minute public letter from intelligence community figures helped convince Big Tech and Big Media outlets to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop from hell story – news that polls showed voters believe would have swayed the outcome of the election had it not been intentionally suppressed.
Meanwhile, hundreds of millions in “Zuckerbucks” went to swing states – funding many characterized as an attempt to help prevent Trump’s re-election.
Score a battle victory for Big Tech and the Left.
In the days after the January 6, 2021, protests, simultaneously – almost as though they got together and planned it – Donald Trump was wiped off the face of social media and banned from all the major platforms.
However, unlike many other Cancel Culture victims before and since him, the 45th President of the United States has lots of resources – and he was able to fight fire with fire.
A little more than two years ago, Trump launched his Truth Social platform.
It has been growing and passing milestones ever since.
And now Trump is about to take Truth Social to the next level.
Truth Social is uncanceling the canceled
Truth Social has announced it has finished the research and development phase of a new over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform.
According to a press release from Trump Media & Technology Group, similar to Peacock or Paramount Plus, the Truth Social streaming service would include an original content delivery network (CDN) and, like YouTubeTV’s subscription plan, would also offer live television.
“We’re excited to move forward with the next big phase for Truth Social,” said TMTG CEO Devin Nunes. “With our streaming content, we aim to provide a permanent home for high-quality news and entertainment that face discrimination by other channels and content delivery services. There is a lot of great content that simply can’t find an audience for unjust reasons, and we want to let these creators know they’ll soon have a guaranteed platform where they won’t be canceled.”
The service will focus on news, religion, and family-friendly films and documentaries.
Nunes added that it will be a home to victims of the Left’s cancel culture mob.
The press release laid out three phases to the launch of the Truth Social streaming service.
First, they will introduce Truth Social’s CDN for streaming live TV to the Truth Social app for Android, iOS, and Web.
In Phase 2, they’ll release a stand-alone Truth Social OTT streaming app for phones, tablets, and other devices.
And finally, they’ll release a Truth Social streaming app for home TV.
