NEWS ALERT: Google Bars Trump’s Truth Social App

AUGUST 30, 2022

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by Breitbart:

The approval of Donald Trump’s Truth Social on Google’s app store, which controls access to 44 percent of smartphones in the U.S., is being held up due to “content moderation concerns,” according to reports. As Google’s decision hangs in the balance, a flurry of negative media coverage about Trump’s platform is underway.

In a statement obtained from Axios, now being covered elsewhere in the media, Google said Truth Social’s approval on the Play Store was being held up due to content moderation concerns.

“On Aug. 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.”


The report explains that Apple, who represents about 55% of the market in the U.S. has approved Truth Social on their platform, but Google, who controls the remaining 44 percent, is banning the Truth Social app.

Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist tweeted, “Big Tech, Democrats, and the Media YET AGAIN collude to interfere in the upcoming elections. This time by coordinating a Stalinist attack on Truth Social, which threatens their information operations. Just horrific how totalitarian the left has become.”

“Yesterday the NYT, which ran Russia collusion hoax and info op, claimed that there were dozens (yes, dozens!) of accounts on Truth Social that they said held different conspiracy theories than the ones they promote. Today, Google used propaganda piece as pretext to ban site,” she added.

Axios tweeted:

Google hasn’t yet approved Truth Social’s Android app for distribution via its Play Store due to insufficient content moderation.

CEO Devin Nunes claimed last week that he didn’t know why it was taking Google “so long” to approve Truth Social for its app store. But Google says it told Truth Social why on Aug. 19 — and the social media app replied that it was working on the issues.

Occupy Democrats cheered the censorship, tweeting, “BREAKING: In a MAJOR loss for Trump, Google BANS his Truth Social from its Google Play Store for refusing to moderate the bigotry and racism that runs rampant on Truth Social — which means that 44% of smartphone users in the U.S. cannot download the app. RT TO THANK GOOGLE!”

Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, tweeted, “Google is canceling conservatives ahead of an election. They’re not even hiding their efforts to sway elections anymore.”
