Former President Donald Trump unveiled a new social media platform called “FreedomNet” during a press conference held in Washington, D.C., signaling a major digital push ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Standing at a sleek podium with an American flag backdrop, Trump emphasized that the platform is designed to “restore free speech” and bypass what he calls “biased mainstream media and Big Tech censorship.”
“This is about giving the American people their voice back,” Trump declared, holding up a smartphone displaying the FreedomNet app. The platform, according to Trump’s team, will allow users to engage with news, videos, and real-time campaign updates directly from Trump and his allies.
Analysts believe this move reflects Trump’s continued focus on mobilizing his base online, especially after his bans from major platforms such as Twitter (now X) and Facebook during and after his presidency. The launch of FreedomNet is already drawing both praise and criticism, with supporters calling it a ‘digital revolution’ and critics warning about the spread of misinformation.
FreedomNet is expected to officially launch to the public within the next few weeks, with early access given to registered Trump supporters and donors.
