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.”

Even FR is more politics than I can stomach these days.
Too many conspiracy theories to be able to distinguish between the true conspiracies, of which there are plenty, and the fake conspiracies, of which there are more than plenty.
I want to try Trump’s Truth Social at some point, but not very motivated to sign up yet. Doubt I will try the others mentioned any time soon.
Funny, since I’m still now up to 548,000 or something on the waiting list.
So Roger Stone didn’t day this?
“Funny, since I’m still now up to 548,000 or something on the waiting list.”
Has Truth Social opened up to Android cellphones yet?
I don’t believe so. Still just Apple.
ANYTHING from YAHOO News should be banned from FreeRepublic.
Speaking of censored I'm willing to bet their comments section is doing just that to it's members on this "news".
I have been on the wait list fo awhile for truth social
I notice you don't actually say Roger Stone didn't say this.
The important thing would not be the source [which wasn;t even Yahoo in this case], but whether Stone said this, or whether a post on "Radical Islam," or not. Apparently you don't even care? Very Democrat of you.
Maybe someone could tell us if Stone did complain, and if his post was censored for mentioning, "radical Islam."
I don't use any type of Twitter personally.
But maybe you should examine how you let yourself go full on neoleftist.
I’m at 666,694 still...
Stone claimed to The Daily Beast that the incident was “a glitch”
This is from Yahoo - obvious fake news.
Why are so many FReepers obsessed with passing this poison around?
I notice you don’t actually say what happened. Why act like a Democrat?
Re: 8 - Good grief, grow up.
And learn what discernment is. It means that you have the ability to discern information from any source.
Thankfully, you don’t get to decide what sources are banned from FR.
>> Even FR is more politics than I can stomach these days
What?
I’m at 178k on the waiting list & getting hammered everyday from RNC to make a “founder’s donation “ to truth social & register my screen name
I’m on iphone & wondering about what’s the delay
You understand that Yahoo News is 90% a need aggregator rather than a news source (same with MSN News and Google News). By using these news aggregators, a person is often able to bypass other paywalls.
in this case, the ultimate source is The Daily Beast. And I'll agree with you 100% that the Daily Beast is not worthy to be posted to FR (unless there is a Barf Alert tag posted in the title). But that is due to the Daily Beast editorial position, not due to Yahoo republishing.
Here’s what happened:
The headline says Stone claims Truth Social censored him - but when you read the actual piece, Stone thinks it was a glitch.
This is an obvious big piece trying to divide Trump supporters against each other.
And you helped. Why help the Democrats?
No. Just him having said it doesn’t mean everything that Yahoo editorial staff would have you think it means.
