Google Allows Truth Social in the Google Play Store

Google had previously stated Truth Social would not be available in its app store until it has implemented policies that adequately address incitement to violence and threats to violence. It also stated that social media apps in the Google Play Store must have an in-app reporting system for objectionable content. (Truth Social was already available for some Android devices via non-Google sources such as the Samsung Galaxy Store.

A spokesperson for Google told CNN Wednesday that these standards had been met.

The spokesperson stated that apps may be distributed on Google Play if they meet our developer guidelines. “This includes the requirement to moderate user-generated content effectively and remove offensive posts like those that incite violence.”

According to Truth Social’s policies user content that encourages violence or accounts that created it “may be removed” from the platform.

Google also announced that Truth Social had agreed to incitement policies. Axios first reported Truth Social’s approval.
