I’m surprised they need such a sophisticated ads system for serving the MyPillow ad they’re still trying to collect on.
Making Truth Social Comply with the AGPL

#12Thank you for your request (routed through legal, which added a day or so of latency).
Main issue is we don't have an automated pipeline to update the published tarball/zipfile from our internal source control system, so it has to be done manually, and no one has that as a specific task. We also review the source for IP/security concerns before releasing.
We will probably add a quarterly task to update it, until/unless we start maintaining a public branch and do it automatically.

#13Good! Companies need to be called out for this more. For example, Phase One, a very high end digital camera company, started using Linux in their digital backs. They were completely unaware of the impacts of GPL!!! At first they refused, until I literally just linked them the Vizio case by SFC. I got a source download of the (mostly AMD/Xilinx) software the next day :)

#14This is a great start with Truth Social, lets also do something with this poor student, who's AGPL software is being still used by Andrew Tate's "The Real World" scam.
Can we make them comply with the AGPL as well?

You could just, like, turn it all off and go on holiday.

Any modifications you make need to also be open sourced.

Never had Truth Social on HN on my bingo card at all.
Still not good enough.
You still need to address this though, you are exploiting open source software by ignoring the license.

We believe in free speech and giving a voice to the deplatformed, so while we could, we won't.

Unless you only update the code running on the website quarterly, I don't think this complies with the license.
