Donald Trump’s Truth Social — a social media platform designed to be a “inviting, nonpartisan ‘Big Tent’ of ideas” — was a hotbed of outrage after FBI agents searched the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home last week.
Some users made threats against the FBI or vowed that a “war” was beginning. But anonymous posts won’t offer much protection against possible prosecution.
According to the site’s fine print, Truth Social will turn over user information in compliance with law enforcement — just like other social media sites.
In its “guidelines for law enforcement,” Truth Social states that it complies with court orders to reveal user information, restrict access to accounts, or preserve posts.
The site also works with law enforcement on “emergency requests,” where they quickly turn over user information when it appears there’s an immediate threat.
“If we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving a danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide any available information necessary to prevent that harm,” the website states.
