Truth Social Offers Paid Early Access to Trump's Posts, Raising Ethical Concerns
Truth Social, owned by Donald Trump, has launched a premium subscription service called Truth API, offering paying clients, mainly trading firms, early access to posts from Trump and other influential accounts. Priced up to $100,000 monthly, this real-time feed provides faster access to market-moving information than the public. Critics raise ethical concerns about potential conflicts of interest, market manipulation, and unfair advantages, given Trump's dual role as president and major shareholder. Trump Media defends the service as a free-market offering, while lawmakers and experts debate its implications.
