Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss to launch ‘free speech’ social media platform
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss to launch ‘free speech’ social media platform
The short-serving former PM brought up her plan to start an alternative social platform at a Bitcoin conference called ‘Saving the West.’
A worthy successor to 4chan.
True embarrassment to the UK.
It wasn't bad enough she crashed the UK's economy? Damn son, crack on with your dumb ass.
Her parents are so disappointed.
Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...
So it will shut down in a week as well?
She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?
I'm sure if you follow the paper trail enough it'll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.
It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.
I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer
So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?
This clown cannot get over the fact that she's a complete and utter failure in almost all ways a human being can be. And she's a despicable slug, too.
There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.
Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?
Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.
I hope not.
I sincerely hope this is the last time I read about Liz Truss and she just disappears into the sands of history.
Nah, she’s gonna get mentioned everytime the shortest PMship did the worst damage ever…ratio’d of course.
There we go again. Another Trump bitch trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.
She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?
Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.
But I really think they're opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.
Mind virus.
For the love of god… don’t.
Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.
I don't get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances
Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance
figured as much
Wouldn't charging money for blue checks or adding a subscription leave them open to lawsuits? That's really the only reason I can think of, wanting to make money.

4chan?
Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad
Hey, I've seen this one before.
Truss Social?
Lettuce social.
sounds like an ad for a hernia strap!
"Lettuce Speak".
"Lettuce Speak Freely"
Cheese markets
Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?
Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.
Gonna be tough to beat mixer. I think she can pull it off.
Every "free speech" platform is, in reality, a "speech I like" platform.
Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.
That doesn't really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.
Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.
Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?
Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.
Oh, sod off, Liz...
Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!
Stupid cunt.
Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.
Feel like I've seen this one before
Just like every other supposed "free speech" platform, eh? How'd that all work out?

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.
They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:
Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn't was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn't use the "free speech" canard.
