Hunkered Down in Bremerton

Trump, Truth and Social Media

Beta testing began this week on former President and future felon Donald Trump's new social media web site and app ... TRUTH Social. NPR says that TRUTH Social claims it will be a place that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.

Good luck there. According to press reports hackers have already bombarded it with anti-Trump material.

When it opens for business, TRUTH Social is likely to be bombarded with anti-Trump posts... millions. They say that they won't discriminate against political ideology. I'll bet they will try to block all anti-Trump material posts. Again, good luck there. Sure they can do it, go for it. However, I doubt that they can create an alogrithim (popular word these days) that will find them...Especially when especially clever people are working to create the posts... and they will love creating them.

In order to block any and all anti-Trump posts, TRUTH Social will have to literaly hire thousands of sets of eyes to examine manually each and every post, reading and judging the content. What time consuming, people consuming drudgery. Of course they will hire die-hard Trump supporters for these jobs. These will be people with no sense of humor for anti-Trump sentiment... none whatsoever. Do you think they will be able to laugh-off posts that make fun of their great noble hero... Hell no. Reading these posts will make them crazy.

This will create a win-win situation for everyone on the political left. The service won't be widely used other than those who are currently banned from social media sites except Trump himself and hackers. Trump and his financial partners will lose millions paying salaries to Trump suporters who will be driven crazy by their new jobs. An additional plus is that it will keep some of the hackers away from more legitimate Internet sites and my email
