Trump Media sued over Truth API’s paywall for presidential posts

Trump Media faces lawsuits from press groups and media firms over the Truth API paywall. The platform charges hedge funds $100,000 monthly for millisecond-faster access to presidential posts, sparking market fairness concerns. Plaintiffs describe the monetization of official statements as corrupt and unconstitutional. The legal action seeks to prevent the president from publishing official government announcements exclusively on Truth Social, as the case could redefine public access to presidential communications and set a precedent for monetizing statements.
