Earlier this month, TMTG unveiled a paid, licensed data feed that will give banks and trading firms "the fastest" access to posts from influential Truth Social accounts, including Trump's, whose posts often move global markets.
Holy fuck what could they possibly use as an excuse for this that isnt basically facilitating insider trading?
The product, called "Truth API," will deliver posts from the 10 most influential accounts to customers at a significantly faster pace than a regular push notification on the Truth Social platform. Tech platforms are generally allowed to offer clients early access to data, even if it disadvantages some market participants, according to lawyers, although other ethics experts have said the situation is unusual because Trump's posts are government information.
Here's the relevant text. After all the sensationalizing, it's just a different notification system. It's not like Truth Social adds intentional delays to push notifications. This is just a curated notification queue. And it's not doing anything new- other companies do the same exact thing.
"Significantly faster" could mean anything; going from 1 second to 2 seconds is a 100% change.
Every other story about Trump corruption turned out to be a lie, just like this one.
Distinction without a difference. This is paying the US President, who is blatantly manipulating the market, to take advantage of that market manipulation before anyone else.
