He’s waiting for the Android and website version to be live. Why would he start the BOOMS now before he has the app fully available for EVERY person?

This may be on of the dumbest comments I’ve seen in a minute. NEARLY EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS HAVE REQUESTED EMAILS TO USE, BUY, SUBSCRIBE, JOIN, ETC.
Listen to yourself my man. Go make a burner email and spoof a number if you’re so concerned good gracious.
Demanding email is a form of censorship. You tell me I need to take special steps or precautions in order to join Trump's social platform, and offer weak-azz attempts at insult instead of logic in response to me merely pointing out the fact of it.
There are Reasons why people don't participate in social media and 'you' are one of them. People like Trump who demand emails - datamining as it were - are also one of the reasons.
You capitalize the notion that all media requires that you permit datamining by them, as if that somehow justifies the spying and intrusions... and you suggest I employ subterfuge, dishonesty to spoof the datamining...
Listen to 'myself', you suggest, yet you are the one defending dataming and dishonesty. AND you intimate that Trump is also demanding a phone number...?
Sheesh.

Look at the alternative. No email address required. No verification whatsoever. Then what happens? Spam bots galore and the site loses usability. Then real users get frustrated and leave.
Requiring an email address doesn't prevent spam bots on other social media sites. Why would it prevent them on Truth Social?
Because they are being reviewed by actual people, not flawed algorithms. That's why it's taking so long.
I didn't say it would prevent bots, but it certainly slows them down.
Requiring an email address is done so that a verification email can be sent. Clicking the link in the verification email proves that a live human is requesting the account. There are probably some ways around this, but it cuts down drastically on the resources needed to filter out bots and spammers. Otherwise the site fills up with garbage and it becomes useless.
I use e-mail verification on my sites as I feel that providing a phone number is too intrusive for many.
'Some' real users, or folks who would be real users if they didn't have to allow datamining on themselves, don't ever join because datamining.
Trump can do what he likes with it, or whoever the owner is, I was merely commenting that IF he wanted all of us to hear him speak he wouldn't condition it with requiring we permit dataming against us in order to attend.
I'm not suggesting he change it to accommodate 'me', just pointing out the reality of it - Trump requires datamining to enter. As a Vet part of why I Served was to protect Free Speech, even tho most people do not want Free Speech, as we see here. Most people want 'their' version of Free Speech, but limited speech for others. Free Speech requires that all speech be allowed, good bad or ugly, no conditions.

I'm as anti censorship as anyone, but where's the line at then? If you want good, bad, or ugly free speech, then would you allow users to post images of people being murdered? What about porn? How about child porn? You said no limits.
Some people think that Free Speech means anything goes, absolutely no limits whatsoever. This is a fallacy and a misunderstanding delivered to you by the Liberals. They want to destroy your free speech so they make you defend something that will naturally destroy itself. Free speech comes from the days that those words were originally written in our country. When our founding fathers forbade the encroachment on Free Speech it was to protect you from being murdered for criticizing the king, not so you can trade CP on the internet. When you served, were you willing to die so people can trade CP openly? Is that what you fought for?
Liberals would tell you that actions of protest are free speech. Therefore as long as you are doing it in the sense of a protest, you can go into the street and stab to death as many people as you want, hey, it's your free speech!
I’ll repeat myself one more time. Go make a spoof email and number if you’re going to whine over a 25 second process that has been in place for the last 30 YEARS.
You can repeat your nonsense and click your heels as many times as you wish, that doesn't change the fact Trump datamines 'you'.
Scream 30 years some more, that's real reddit-level lemming shiite that is.

EVERYTHING is already saved, recorded, spied on, etc. There is NO safe haven. No VPN conceals your IP, you're still tracked. You can't be this stupid and be on this board unless you're shilling like a turbo faggot.

Y'all don't understand, I do not wish to 'cheat' or fool someone just to enter that place.
Again, IF Trump wanted us all to hear him speak he would not place conditions upon it.
Not asking that he change it to accommodate Free Speech, just noting that he datamines.
I will not use subterfuge to play an evasion Game, it isn't worth it long run.

Is he mining data beyond user email addresses? Sincere question. I don't know. As others have said, almost every website requires an email address to create an account, for password recovery at a minimum.
