Trump’s Truth Social Is Promoting QAnon Accounts

Gizmodo reports:

Truth Social, the Twitter-like social platform for the ultra-right and Trump sycophants, has a QAnon problem. Researchers with media watchdog group NewsGuard reported Monday that there were 88 users with more than 10,000 followers regularly posting QAnon nonsense.

More than half of those accounts were “verified,” similar to Twitter’s own verification system. More than that, former President Donald Trump actively platformed 30 of these accounts a total of 54 times in the few months since he came onto the platform earlier this year.

But it’s not just Trump giving these accounts a leg up, according to researchers. Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes, a pariah in his own party, and former Trump administration official Kashyap Patel also regularly tag the anonymous, QAnon posting account @Q. That account has 214,000 followers.
