Trump’s Truth Social barred from Google Play store

Meanwhile, Truth Social, the wannabe Twitter rival created by the ex-US president, Donald Trump Media and Technology Group, is no longer available on the Google Play store.

According to Google, the app does not have effective systems for moderating user-generated content, which is against the store’s terms of service.

CNBC reported that Google stated on August 19, 2022, that the platform violated standard policies in their current app submission and repeated that having an effective system for intervening in user-generated content is a pre-requisite for terms of service of any app to go live on Google Store.

It means Android users, who are 44 per cent of smartphone users in the US, cannot download the app.
