Former Truth Social executive, Will Wilkerson, has become a whistleblower, providing federal and state investigators with 150,000 emails and documents relating to the Trump Media and Technology Group. Accusing the company of violating securities laws, Wilkerson has been granted federal protection as a whistleblower. Despite the potential for wealth through his high-paying job and stock options, Wilkerson chose to distance himself from Truth Social, concerned that investors may be at risk of losing their investments. He now works as a barista trainer at Starbucks in North Carolina for $16/hour, stating that he is focused on doing what is right, even in the face of risks. The controversy surrounding Truth Social continues, but Wilkerson remains committed to speaking out.

In a recent development, a federal judge has ruled against Google’s motion to dismiss the antitrust case brought against it by the government. The lawsuit alleges that Google holds monopolistic power in the realm of online advertising, which harms consumers. Judge Leonie Brinkema has allowed the case to proceed in its entirety, marking the second setback for the tech giant in the federal court in Alexandria. Google had also attempted to consolidate the case with another ongoing lawsuit in New York, but Brinkema ruled against it. The case will now proceed in the Alexandria courthouse, which is known for quickly resolving disputes. The ruling is a significant blow to Google, as its alleged virtual monopoly in online advertising will now be subject to scrutiny.
