Expect another Trumpian rant. Starts to be real whiners "they're mean to me, a stable genius". Anyway,

"Trump social network given 30 days to stop breaking software license
Former President Donald Trump's new social media platform, TRUTH Social, has been given 30 days to comply with the software's terms of license before its access is terminated. If it fails to comply, the platform may face legal action or have to rebuild from scratch.

Trump Media and Technology Group, a new company started by the former president, announced Wednesday it would soon launch TRUTH Social, a
new platform aiming to "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech." The site is being built with the open-source software Mastodon."

BTW "TRUTH Social" by Trump? An oxymoron if ever there was one. Mind you, I have it from a reliable source ...

Truth as Trump wants you to know it.

"What's Allowed on Trump's New 'TRUTH' Social Media Platform—And What Isn't
Donald Trump announcing plans Wednesday to launch a new social media platform called “TRUTH Social,” the site’s terms of service quickly came under scrutiny.

Despite advertising itself as a platform that will “give a voice to all,” according to a press release, TRUTH Social’s terms of service state that users may not “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site.”

In other words, any user who criticizes Trump or the site can be kicked off the platform. TRUTH Social did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment clarifying this clause."

To follow up:

"Trump's Social Media Site Quietly Admits It's Based on Mastodon
Mastodon had originally threatened to sue Trump's 'Truth Social' site for allegedly violating its open-source license.

To avoid a lawsuit, Donald Trump’s social media site is quietly acknowledging the computer code powering the platform comes from Mastodon.

Trump’s “Truth Social” site now features a dedicated section labeled “open source,” which contains a Zip archive to Mastodon’s source code.

“Our goal is to support the open source community no matter what your political beliefs are. That's why the first place we go to find amazing software is the community and not ‘Big Tech,’” the site adds. "

Whilst what the software licence requires is the code including any modifications made by the site, so still in breach.
