Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss to launch ‘free speech’ social media platform
EXCLUSIVE: Liz Truss to launch ‘free speech’ social media platform this summer
"Lettuce Speak".
"Lettuce Speak Freely"
Is she going for the record for shortest-lived social media platform too now?
Less than on Scaramouche, I bet.
Gonna be tough to beat mixer. I think she can pull it off.
Every "free speech" platform is, in reality, a "speech I like" platform.
Every “free speech” platform is, in reality, a hate speech platform.
That doesn't really cover it though. I mean look at all the people Musk has banned that have nothing to do with hate speech.
Even more a 'i want to say hateful stuff and not be held accountable for my own stupidity' platform.

Truss Social?
Lettuce social.
sounds like an ad for a hernia strap!
Jesus, this woman is desperate to stretch out her 15 minutes. How sad
Hasn‘t she embarrassed herself enough by now?
Haven't you heard? She isn't the type to give up.
Aren't there enough right wing echo bunkers at this point?
Truss social
So, do you guys think that her social media platform will last longer or less than a piece of lettuce?
A lettuce probably has more leaves than her platform will have users.
Hahaha!
Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.
She's a moron, always has been - but who is the money behind her?
I'm sure if you follow the paper trail enough it'll lead back to either Russia or the Heritage Foundation from the US.
It is yet another grifting disinformation factory.
Another disinformation paradise. Go for it.
Time to start live streaming a lettuce again to as the traditional Liz Truss standard for how long her projects last...
There is already a free speech platform called Gab Social, which follows America's 1st amendment. How could a fool like Liz Truss pretend to care about free speech, when people in her country routinely get the police at their door for posting memes? I'm so sick of free speech being nothing more than a trend or a buzzword used by rich people.
So it will shut down in a week as well?
Oh good, yet another shitty twitter clone.
I don't get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just roll mastodon and defederate from all other instances
Truth social is mastodon fork so following the suit is possible. On my masto feed someone posted its link as reference and I was surprised thay my masto client handled it as just like one of the instance
figured as much
Wouldn't charging money for blue checks or adding a subscription leave them open to lawsuits? That's really the only reason I can think of, wanting to make money.
Fully expecting this to be like Truth Social, based off fediverse software with no attribution and no federation.
Truss Social?
There we go again. Another Trump removed trying to please the orange morron. Maybe she can share a bed with Nigel Farage.
Feel like I've seen this one before
Hey, I've seen this one before.
She even talks like a Trump. Is it contagious?
Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.
But I really think they're opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.
Mind virus.
True embarrassment to the UK.
Cheese markets
Another badly executed neoliberal neocon shithole predicated on open-source tech and standards yay!
You mean colossal failure Liz truss who couldn't outlast a head of lettuce?
Lemme guess, they're gonna launch a private Mastodon server.
I hope not.
Stupid cunt.
Just like every other supposed "free speech" platform, eh? How'd that all work out?
I think I'll join the platform that the lettuce launches, it'll likely last longer
So...we will all be making accounts to post photos of our lettuces?
Her parents are so disappointed.
I sincerely hope this is the last time I read about Liz Truss and she just disappears into the sands of history.
Nah, she’s gonna get mentioned everytime the shortest PMship did the worst damage ever…ratio’d of course.
This clown cannot get over the fact that she's a complete and utter failure in almost all ways a human being can be. And she's a despicable slug, too.
I remember Lizz Truss. For a short time I could winge about the conservative party to cab drivers without any fear that they would agree with them.
One of the good things about the UK is Trump style behaviour does not work here for long. Unfortunately it's more of an objection to incompetence than bigotry but that's life
Didn't that Trump style behavior convince you guys to leave the EU?
Not really, the politicians with a Trumpian style (Johnson and Truss) came after brexit and got there because of the polarisation caused by brexit (and had the example of Trump himself). There was definitely a lot of lying and false claims that were used by the leave campaign in order to get brexit and it shared some similarities with Trump, but it wasnt politics in the the style of being completely divorced from reality and overwhelming incompetance that defines Trump.
Fair. You have a point.
Though notably Boris didn't get away with everything after the fact. There were penalties for incoherent and inconsistent COVID and his hypocrisy.
Though it does concern me that it's entirely possible that only happened because A) a conservative wrote a report bashing his parties and B) right wing media groups didn't defend Boris
Yes but if you bring up that fact, they can’t act self righteous
A worthy successor to 4chan.
Why I ask ?
Money
Oh, sod off, Liz...
4chan?
It wasn't bad enough she crashed the UK's economy? Damn son, crack on with your dumb ass.

For the love of god… don’t.
Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.
They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:
Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn't was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn't use the "free speech" canard.
