Tech experts say proposed Trump social network faces many challenges

Trump advisers say the former president will launch a social media site soon. But experienced programmers and tech executives say he’ll face challenges trying to build competitive technology, attract top talent, and secure the site from hackers. CBSN tech reporter Dan Patterson joins CBSN AM to discuss his reporting.

I'm confident that Trump's networks will be just as successful as his casinos, airline, water, steaks, game, magazine, football league, university...

[donnewton]

...AND, the best healthcare plan you've ever seen will be released along with the social media site!

[annohalloran]

Can’t he recruit his IT from Trump University?

[warriorclass]

Every hacker in the world will have fun with this one

[SnackAttack]

Most people are coming away from social media, too much hatred there

[anandanalogy]

Just call it The Trumpet so that he can toot his horn anytime...

[denisaac]

I agree, NOPE! The man can't even string a coherent sentence together. He's not really sure that big water is wet. NOPE!

[eddiereyeshome]

I wonder when it will it be released? Maybe it will be in two weeks, just like his health care plan!

[crabbyoldman]

This will be like his “healthcare plan”. Often hyped but never produced.

[allencarlson]

If he gets that together, he'll get DOSed every other day.

It is going to be - - - - - "The Biggest, most Beautiful media platform EVER" "I will have the platform running in two weeks, people say!" - - - - - two weeks later no platform!!! - - - - - - two months later no platform - - - - - - two years later no health care, oops, I mean platform

Contents on the web: "I won, I won, I won, I won, I won, I won, I won and I won"

[charliewyler]

this is a guy that couldn't turn a profit with a damn casino for chrissake!!!

[stevelangerprinting]

He won't need a social network once they convict him of Tax Evasion 🤣🤣🤣

[RayosMcQueen]

I can just imagine Trump up at 4 am angerblocking his users from his Network until he is all alone with some Bots that Putin made for him.

[harrysadlermusic]

Trump couldn't get a Wordpress blog up in two weeks..

Server: rusia backed servers.
Techs: outsourced to india
Security: "I do not care, do you"

[irinakrugler]

There're a lot of conservatives out there who're totally fed up with Twitter, Facebook and other social media. It may be challenging for Trump to come up with his own social platform but I wouldn't underestimate his abilities.

Jason Miller, Corey Lewandwoski -- yeah those media geniuses.

[SoaringRedEagle]

"China or N. Korea" He could build it there. 😂 🤣😂 🤣
