Report: Trump's 'Truth Social' Will Use Silicon Valley AI System to Automatically Censor 'Hate Speech'

Donald Trump's "Truth Social" will be using a Silicon Valley AI system used by Reddit and others to automatically censor "hate speech" before it is posted, according to a report from Fox Business.

From Fox Business, "Trump 'TRUTH Social' developing content moderation practices to ensure 'family-friendly' community":  https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-truth-social-developing-content-moderation-practices-to-ensure-family-friendly-community

When TRUTH Social launches later this quarter, the Trump Media & Technology Group social media platform will already have stringent content moderation practices in place to ensure it is a "family-friendly" online community, company CEO Devin Nunes told Fox Business.

[...] Fox Business has learned that TMTG is partnering with Hive—a San Francisco-based Series D start-up that provides automated solutions through cloud-based artificial intelligence for understanding images, videos, and text content. Hive's technology provides automated content moderation across video, image, text and audio.

"We want to be very family-friendly, we want this to be a very safe place, and we are focused on making sure any illegal content is not on the site," Nunes said in an exclusive interview with Fox Business.

"Hive has a great track record in this, and they have been good to work with," Nunes continued. "They are very helpful for our team and because of their experience, I think they're helping to craft the right spot for us."

He added: "We want to be the most family-friendly site."

Hive co-founder and CEO Kevin Guo told Fox Business that his company's AI model will be used for TRUTH Social to offer content moderation for posts to ensure sexually-explicit content, and posts that include violence, bullying, hate speech, and spam never make it to the platform.

"TMTG really has been proactive," Guo told Fox Business. "For them, moderation has always been core. They have been very thoughtful about this."

What's the point in launching another social media site if you're not going to allow free speech?

This is just more evidence Trump has little interest in defending free speech. On the same day he joined Rumble last year, they changed their terms of service to ban "anti-semitic" and "hateful" content.

Gab CEO Andrew Torba said last year that Trump never joined Gab because Jared Kushner "specifically had problems with people [on the site] criticizing Jewish people, and Zionism, and policies related to Israel."  https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62334

"I mean, that's specifically what I was told, is 'You have to do something about these people.'" Torba said during an interview with TruNews. "He called them Jew haters, I call them Jew criticizers."

Torba said his refusal to "sell out" and "compromise on Gab's free speech policies" was a deal-breaker which kept Trump from joining the site.

Facebook does that all the time.

I manage to post maybe 10 times average each day before it gives me the standard Facebook "your post doesn't meet community standards" window, simply because I'm posting about The Jews or 9-11.

Also Facebook shadow bans people.

If you post, but Facebook hides the post from other people, you might as well be posting on a tree in the middle of a large forest where there are no humans.

Truth Social criticized by far-right talk show host for 'censorship' as it surges in popularity
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/truth-social-faces-conservative-criticism-for-censorship-as-it-surges-in-popularity

Former President Donald Trump's new social media app, Truth Social, is surging with new users but facing criticism from some on the Right for what they claim is censorship.

The critics say Truth Social, which has billed itself as a free-speech alternative to Big Tech platforms, has some of the same problems with content moderation and data privacy that led them to seek alternatives to companies such as Facebook and Twitter.

A right-wing broadcaster who has pushed conspiracy theories about the coronavirus in recent months was censored for posting what the platform classified as "sensitive content." Another user has been banned from the app for creating an account that made fun of Devin Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social.

Right-wing personality and radio host Stew Peters complained his speech was suppressed by having a "Show Content" label placed on one of his posts on Truth Social, forcing users to click to see his content.

"I'm ALREADY being censored on Truth Social," Peters said on Telegram, another free speech-focused social media platform.

"I said, 'The people in our government responsible for allowing our kids to be killed with these dangerous Covid shots, should be put on trial and executed,'" Peters said, along with a screenshot of his post on Truth Social. "Free speech isn't free."

Truth Social was the most downloaded free app on Apple's app store earlier this week, with nearly 400,000 people receiving notices they were on a waitlist upon trying to sign up.

Nunes said Thursday that Truth Social's top priority is bringing people on to the platform's app as soon as possible.

Since its launch on Sunday, Truth Social has been swamped with people seeking to sign up and been plagued by sign-up errors and delays, with many users being unable to create an account successfully or receiving confusing error messages.

A Truth Social user who attempted to register an account intended to make fun of Nunes with a new account titled '@DevinNunesCow' was outright banned from the platform.

The account name was a reference to a satirical Twitter account called "Devin Nunes' cow," created by web developer and internet personality Matt Ortega, which gained notoriety and a large following on the platform after Nunes sued the account for defamation in 2019.

Ortega tried to create a Truth Social account that also pretended to be Nunes's cow but was removed from the platform for doing so.

"I may be the first officially 'cancelled' Truth Social user," Ortega said on Twitter.

Truth Social said his account was permanently deleted because the account name violated its social community guidelines.

"This is censorship," Ortega tweeted.

Trump — removed from almost every major social media platform, including Facebook and Twitter, following his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol — announced he was creating Truth Social last October as an alternative to the Big Tech companies and to promote free speech.

Thus far, social media platforms popular with right-leaning users, such as GETTR and Parler, have had difficulties attracting a more mainstream user base as they try to expand, a major obstacle to conservatives hoping to end the liberal chokehold on social media.

Conservatives have pointed out that Truth Social's content moderation policies are significantly stricter than Twitter's and are not free speech-oriented.

Unlike Twitter, Truth Social users can get suspended or kicked off the platform for posting content that moderators consider to be false, defamatory, or misleading.

"It isn't a censorship-free experience at all, it's rank hypocrisy to ban the DevinNunesCow account," said Patrick Hedger, executive director of the conservative Taxpayers Protection Alliance.

"I think they should abide by how they advertise themselves as a censorship-free platform or recognize that striking a balance between free speech and palatable consumer content is not easy, as other platforms have realized," Hedger added.
