two ways to report Truth Social accounts:
From the Profile
The easiest way to report a profile is to visit it and
follow these steps:
·
Open the profile that’s using your name.
·
Choose the overflow icon (three dots) and select
Report.
·
Now choose the type of report you’d like to
submit. So you're reporting impersonation, the fourth choice - they're impersonating me or someone else – is the best alternative.
·
When you select this option, the company will ask you to provide additional details regarding the attempted impersonation. Choose the right option
according to the situation. This is critical because you may be required to submit paperwork to establish that you have the authority to file a report.
ü Me: If you
are being impersonated. You may be required to present identification documents such as your driver's license to confirm your identity in this case.
ü Someone I
represent: Choose this option if you are representing a business or a
person. You'll be requested to supply documentation to confirm that you have the legal authority to file this report once more.
ü My
company or brand: Choose this option if someone’s running a fake
page under your company or brand name. You may be required to produce company records and proof of your affiliation with the company for this purpose.
ü Someone
else:
Choose this option if a friend or family member is being impersonated. You may
also choose this option for brands or pets.
·
On the next page, you will be asked to provide
more information about your reports such as your real name or the name of the
person who is being impersonated.
· You will receive a confirmation and the company may send you an email with further updates.

How to report trademark infringement on Truth Social
Truth
Social understands that there aren’t just fake individual Truth Social accounts
but also pages selling fake products.
According to the official site: “Using another’s trademark in a way that may
mislead or confuse people about your affiliation may be a violation of our
trademark policy.”
You can
report such violations by going here and providing the required
information.
The first step is to decide what type of report you want to send. It is preferable to speak with your legal department before filing a complaint so that your time is not wasted.
After that, you must demonstrate that you have the legal right to file a complaint. Only the legal trademark owner or their representatives are permitted to file trademark complaints.
While you can select the third option, ‘I am reporting misuse of someone else’s trademark,’ the company may decline your request and instead invite you to file a report about counterfeit goods.
