According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, Truth Social, an alternative social media app launched by the 45th POTUS, is only known by about a quarter of the U.S. adult population, with its use mainly for non-news consumption.

The survey was carried out in mid-May 2022.

About 27 percent of American adults surveyed reported knowing about Truth Social. Only 2 percent of users had used the app for news consumption.

Truth Social is the second most known alternative social media app surveyed, with Parler regarded as slightly more known but less ideal for news consumption.

A bar chart showing that the extent to which Americans have heard of alternative social media sites varies; a very small share of the public gets news on them

When asked about Truth Social as a platform for free speech, research showed mixed results.
