JAKARTA – Former US President Donald Trump had to wait six hours before reposting his message from the social media platform Truth Social on another platform. This was revealed in a regulatory filing on Monday, May 16.

The platform was launched with a mission to fight Big Tech, after the former US president was removed from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube for allegedly inciting and glorifying violence during the January 6 US Capitol riots.

Billionaire Elon Musk, who has bid to buy Twitter, said he would reinstate Trump's account on the platform, even calling Trump's ban "morally wrong and utterly stupid."

Trump, who averaged 18 times a day on Twitter when he was president, said he would not return to Twitter even if his account was reinstated. He still chose to use Truth Social. He has even increased his message on the new platform to his millions of followers after a slow start.

"President Trump is generally obligated to make any social media post on Truth Social and may not make the same post on another social media site for 6 hours," Digital World Acquisition Corp said in a filing.

DWAC, a special-purpose acquisition firm that will announce Truth Social's parent, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), filed a statement with US regulators and said they hoped to close the deal in the second half of 2022.

He also said Trump was free to sign offers for new video productions, but TMTG retained the rights to recreate similar programs for the subscription video service TMTG+ and had to pay for it for exclusive content for subscribers.
