  • A post shared on Facebook claims the new social media platform Truth Social will cost $4.99 a week. Verdict: False The image shows a screen grab from a different app called 2nd1st. Truth Social is free for all users. Fact Check: Truth Social, a social media platform that was developed with support from former President Donald Trump, launched Monday on the Apple App Store, according to the Associated Press . The app was created by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) to be a free-speech-centered platform and stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech, according to Time . An image shared on Facebook claims the app will cost $4.99 a week. It shows a screen grab that reads, Support Free Speech Now in bold, blue letters, followed by a checklist of features that are accessible to certain users. Start 3 Day Free Trial then $4.99/wk, the image concludes with a red continue button for users to click on to subscribe. Trump’s new Truth Social is where ‘free speech’ costs $4.99 per week, the post’s caption claims. The screen grab is not from Truth Social, however. Rather, it appears to show the pricing of a different free speech app titled, 2nd1st . A similar image can be seen in an article from the New York Post about 2nd1st. The article explains Trump sent the app a cease and desist in 2021 for using his likeness and implying he will be on the platform. Truth Social is listed as a free app in the Apple App Store , while web archives from October 2021 show the platform has been listed as free at least since then.
