Details about former U.S. President Donald Trump's new social media app are trickling out as about 500 beta testers have begun using an early version of "Truth Social," two sources told Reuters.
The testing of Truth Social comes a year after Trump was banned from Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR) and Alphabet (GOOGL)'s YouTube.
