Donald Trump supporters flock to niche social media sites
Trump supporters are angry at what they see as censorship on mainstream social media and defecting to platforms with fewer restrictions. Experts are concerned the trend will polarize US society even further.
Trump has lost his most important means of communication
For weeks US President Donald Trump has been maintaining that Democrats rigged the election in November and stole the vote. After he whipped his supporters into such a frenzy that some of them stormed the Capitol, Twitter temporarily suspended the account of its most infamous user for an initial period of 12 hours. Shortly afterward, it shut down Trump s account permanently, thereby stripping the president of his primary platform.
