Truth Social, the alternative social media platform created by Donald Trump, is rolling out the red carpet for QAnon conspiracy theorists. Media watchdog NewsGuard has found 88 accounts promoting QAnon content to more than 10,000 followers each — some of which have been granted verified badges. More than one-third of the accounts had been banned from Twitter in the past.
NewsGuard’s latest Misinformation Monitor report focuses heavily on Truth Social’s allowance of QAnon-related misinformation. Trump, who has amassed nearly 4 million followers on Truth Social, has “reTruthed” posts from 30 of these QAnon accounts since joining the platform in April.
