LOL. Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz says she has been suspended by Truth Social, former President Donald Trump’s new social media platform that’s set to compete with Twitter.
“I’m being silenced by big tech,” she tweeted:

And she says she didn’t do anything “bannable”:
did you do anything "bannable" or did they just ban you?

Except, you know, dox the woman behind the Libs of TikTok account:
I didn’t do anything!

Blue-checks are having a little fun over the ban. . .
Time for Elon to buy Truth Social and restore free speech. https://t.co/27LqhidfDI

. . .but maybe they should wait a little bit before dancing on Truth Social’s grave? The company just signed a deal with Rumble that *should* go a long ways to overcoming the company’s buggy launch:
This is what we have been waiting for.

And it’s not just conservatives saying this. Chris Anderson writes for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that he’s worried that Rumble, located in Sarasota, Fla. and Truth Social, now also headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., are in talks to be part of the SPAC merger that would see Truth Social as a publicly-traded company.
Anderson summarized his opinion piece in this series of tweets:
“Rumble, a Canadian company, set up its U.S. headquarters on Longboat Key in Sarasota County in Nov. 2021. There’s been questions as to who was behind the move. Enterprise Florida – Gov. Ron DeSantis is chair of the economic entity – was an original Rumble-Sarasota go-between.”

And:
“This is important. In Rumble, Trump now has a large reliable platform to replace Twitter and it’s a sure sign he’ll run in 2024. Trump’s media company and Rumble are also reported to be involved in SPAC mergers that could place a value on their companies between $1-2 billion.”

Truth Social now banning?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
So they should allow porn? Doxxing and porn should be bannable.
BTTT
Free Republic bans people too...
Lorenz deserves to get banned, for doxing (or doxxing) the creator of LibsOfTikTok, plus providing her address, plus revealing she is an Orthodox Jew. Lorenz is an anti-Semite.
Yes but it wasnt done on Truth Social. I wonder if they will ban Zelensky if he ever joins for pretending to play the piano with his penis?
Actaully,I dont have a problem with any site, including Twitter, from banning anyone. Sure I dont like it, but thats their right. I just find it hypocritical for Truth to use their opposition to banning as a marketing tool only to do it themselves.
I don’t mind if standards are spelled out and dished out equally. It’s when some creep decides they don’t like a tweet and ban capriciously.
“Rumble, a Canadian company,”
You’d have thought that castro jr. would ban them by now.
Her account seems to be unbanned now
:(
Then they shouldn't have banned her imho. If this is all even true.
You attack a conservative company based on the word of a lying scum bag? Wow. Noted.
Probably was never banned to start with.
Dogs gotta bark and liars gotta lie.
Sorry, just call it as I see it. I dont care whose ox is gored.
Good. If truth is true to what they say they are “free speech” they shouldnt do what twitter does.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
You are one negative SOB.
Have you done any research or just read a single posted line and started your negative bullshit.
Comparing Trump to Dorsey is insane, and by implication, that's what you did.
