​Trump’s Truth Social shouldn't be trusted with users' info after disastrous launch: privacy expert

Raw Story  

The "disastrous launch" of former president Donald Trump's social media app — Truth Social — shows it shouldn't be trusted with people's private information, according to one expert. “The basic thing they needed to actually get right to get someone in the door, they couldn’t get right,” privacy researcher Bill Fitzgerald told the Washington Post, adding the “ineptitude of the rollout" could be a warning of future issues ahead. "So I’m hard-pressed to understand why anyone would trust that these people would keep their information safe.” WaPo technology reporter Drew Harwell notes that Truth Social "has been almost entirely inaccessible" since it launched on Monday, including a 13-hour outage and a 300,000-person waitlist. "The site had been heralded for months as the crown jewel of Trump’s post-presidential business ambitions, with allies pledging it would revolutionize social media and take down the mainstream social networks where Trump is banned," according to Harwell.
