Having spent the last 14 months deeply organizing and constructing what Nunes is describing, I can appreciate the scale of this effort his team is attempting to create.  Building technology platforms that are anti-fragile to Big Tech is not easy and is extremely expensive.

As Nunes notes, vetting the system partners and providers is a priority.  Each small component must be reviewed as a vector, a window into the larger network of systems that are created.  It’s not just a matter of an independent network of servers, it is also a system of server capacity to handle millions of simultaneous user engagements and billions of Ajax calls per second.  CTH is based on a much smaller scale version, and even at this level it is a very complex undertaking.  WATCH:

Nunes is hopeful that Truth Social will be live as an independent social media system sometime before the end of the first quarter.  It will be interesting to see how they handle user privacy, user data and access points for user engagement.

They will likely have to build out the majority of their infrastructure from scratch, and they will burn through a great deal of investment capital along the way.  Fortunately, there are people inside Big Tech who will align with the independent objective.
