Trump Media Launches Truth API Data Service
Paid high-speed access to presidential posts sparks debate.
Event Overview
Trump Media & Technology Group has launched 'Truth API,' a paid service providing real-time, low-latency access to Truth Social posts, primarily those of Donald Trump.

While the company describes it as a standard business monetization of proprietary assets, critics and Democratic senators argue it creates an unfair market advantage and constitutes an abuse of office.
