Google Play Store still has not authorized distribution of app, denying it access to 40% of US smartphone market
“On August 19, we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play,” Google said in a statement.
Google said it had expressed concerns to Truth Social about violations of its Play Store policies prohibiting content such as physical threats and incitement to violence. Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group , did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment, but in a press release said that it had “continuously worked in good faith with Google to ensure that the Truth Social Android App complies with Google’s policies without compromising our promise to be a haven for free speech”.
It added: “Moreover, some of our competitors’ apps are allowed in the Google Play Store despite rampantly violating Google’s prohibition on sexual content and other policies, whereas Truth Social has zero tolerance for sexually explicit content.”Truth Social restored Trump’s presence on social media more than a year after he was banned from Twitter and Facebook following the January 6 riots at the Capitol, after he was accused of posting messages inciting violence.
