Reuters: The Trump Media & Technology Group, owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, has recently launched a paid-licensing data interface that will provide the “fastest” access channel to posts from top accounts on the Truth Social platform—including Trump’s own account. The company said the product, called “Truth API,” will go live on August 1 and will transmit in real time to customers the activity from the platform’s 10 most influential accounts at a speed far beyond the usual push-notification pace of Truth Social. A company spokesperson said the product is designed for institutions such as algorithmic trading firms—those “most affected by the costs of information delay.” Previously, institutions that closely tracked popular posts on Truth Social had to rely on manual monitoring of the market.

Trump is really a money-making genius—he even sets up a VIP channel for his own tweets, so ordinary people are supposed to just lag behind, right?

I’m curious how fast this thing’s data is—does it really make you earn a few million more just by being 0.1 seconds faster than manually refreshing? Should regulators step in to address this kind of information asymmetry?

Isn’t this just cashing in on Twitter data by “cutting” the retail traders like wheat? The AlphaGo teams can trade ahead again.

Where’s the promised decentralization? In the end, you built a paid data API—still the old playbook of centralized profiteering and cutting down retail investors.

As soon as the Truth API went live, high-frequency traders probably need to be watching every single Trump post to front-run, and retail investors won’t even be able to get the leftovers.
