American President Donald Trump faces a lawsuit for selling faster access to his posts on the Truth Social network. Two American media organizations, The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, filed it on Wednesday in New York, claiming that such a model unconstitutionally favors paying clients. hnonline.sk ↗
The dispute concerns a service referred to as Truth API, which is intended to provide preferential access to Trump's posts. According to the lawsuit, it involves updates related to tariffs, war, and government actions—that is, information that could also affect financial markets. Faster access is to be offered primarily to stock traders and financial news services. aktuality.sk ↗
The media organizations object to the president thus allowing paying customers to obtain information before the public and other media outlets. In the lawsuit, according to available information, they describe this procedure as unusual, corrupt, and unconstitutional. According to published information, the price for such access could be as high as 100,000 dollars per month. Novy Cas ↗
The case could become a test of the boundaries between the president's private business, access to information of public importance, and constitutional rules of equal treatment. Further developments will depend on the proceedings of the New York court and how it assesses the connection between presidential communication and a paid digital service.
