Donald Trump's latest social media platform “Truth Social” is arranging a progressive rollout this week and can become "completely functional" by late March, possibly raising the former president's profile after almost a year when he was prohibited by major social media platforms.

"This week, we will begin to roll out to people on the Apple App store," said Devin Nunes, CEO of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the new application's parent organization. The previous Republican congressman was speaking on Sunday on conservative Fox News.

"I think, by the end of March, we’re going to be fully operational - at least within the United States," added Nunes, who left the US House to lead the Trump group.

Trump has depicted Truth Social as an option in contrast to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, all of which banned him following the attack on the US Capitol by his allies on January 6, 2021.

The previous president has been blamed for inciting his followers to use power in a bid to change the result of the 2020 elections.

On Sunday, the App Store was permitting users to pre-order Truth Social, beginning from Monday, the holiday on occasion of Presidents Day in the United States.

"It's actually very moving for me to see people that are on the platform that have had their voice canceled," said Nunes.

"We want (users) to tell us what they would like to have on the platform, which is the opposite of some Silicon Valley tech oligarch freak telling people what they want to think and deciding who can or cannot be on the platform," he mentioned.

Trump and his better half Melania Trump likewise plans on Monday to offer 10,000 NFTs for sale, or non-fungible tokens, showing key minutes in the Trump presidency. NFTs are certified digital images that can be traded.

"Truth is coming..." Senator Elise Stefanik, the third-positioning House Republican, tweeted Friday, in an allusion to the ominous catch phrase of the TV series "Game of Thrones" ("Winter is coming").

She posted a screenshot of her message on Truth Beta, the test form of the new site, commenting, "I'm so excited to be on Truth!"

Also Donald Trump Jr. celebrated on Twitter, posting, "Time for some Truth!!!" and including what he said was his dad's first post on Truth Social: "Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon".

The Trump Group reportedly has a $1.25 billion (generally Rs. 9,320 crore) of treasure as it seeks a niche in a packed social media market for conservatives, including the Gettr, Parler, and Gab like platforms.

Prior to being restricted by Twitter, Trump had somewhere in the range of 89 million supporters there and used the platform constantly, both for presidential statements and to assault rivals.

Trump, who is 75, has surely hinted however never conclusively said whether he will look for the presidency again.

He is presently under the shadow of numerous investigators and lawsuits, including over his duty/tax filings and his attempts to stick to power after losing the 2020 elections.

In 2024, India experienced internet shutdowns in a total of 84 instances. Now it is recorded as the second most internet blackout after the 113 shutdowns recorded in 2023. Even though the numbers have reduced a lot, still India ranked second globally for the number of internet shutdowns, just behind Myanmar, which had 85 shutdowns.

Reasons and Affect Of Internet Shutdown

In 2024, there were 296 internet shutdowns in 54 countries, which is 35% more than the previous year. This rise shows the ongoing problems with access to information and digital rights worldwide. Since 2024 was called the "year of democracy," elections took place in at least 64 countries, affecting nearly half of the world's population. But this also led to more internet shutdowns related to elections, with 12 cases reported in eight countries.

According to the Access Now report, India needs to solve the issue of internet shutdowns because they go against the country’s goal of becoming a global leader in artificial intelligence, digital governance, and skilling. The report also called for the removal of laws that violate people's rights and the creation of rules to prevent future shutdowns.

Overall, the large number of internet shutdowns in India and worldwide in 2024 shows why protecting digital rights and ensuring access to information is important.
