Veteran Republican operative and longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone claims he’s being “censored” on the ex-president’s social media site Truth Social.
The latest declaration from Stone comes as the platform’s traffic nose-dives, with conservatives splintered between other right-wing Twitter alternatives, including Truth, Gab, and Gettr.
On Saturday night, Stone took to Truth Social—which brands itself a free-speech haven—to post about “radical Islam,” including a picture of an old Trump campaign button and the comment, “Trump also warns again a growing threat of terrorism by radical Islam mix in the predicted the 9/11 attack.”
Truth Social, which has artificial intelligence censors working in the background, later applied a “sensitive content” warning, adding that Stone’s post “may not be suitable for all audiences.”
“Why would this be censored content on TruthSocial?” Stone wrote in a follow-up post featuring the same Trump campaign button. Notably, the second post was not slapped with a content warning.
On Sunday evening, Stone claimed to The Daily Beast that the incident was “a glitch” while adding, “repost the SUBSTANCE.” Truth Social didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment Sunday morning.
Stone’s assertion about being “censored” comes after other MAGA-loving Truth users claimed they have been silenced on the platform, which launched in late February. “So, tonight I was #censored on #TruthSocial,” a user wrote Saturday night.
