Google said it has allowed Donald Trump's Truth Social app in its Play Store for Android devices
Google says Donald Trump's Truth Social app for Android devices has been tweaked to effectively get rid of abusive and violence-inducing posts, as a condition of being allowed into the Play Store.NEW YORK - Google on Wednesday said it has allowed Donald Trump's Truth Social app in its Play Store for Android devices -- after receiving assurances the app would meet the platform's standards for moderating harmful content.
Google said Truth Social has since been updated to comply with its policies barring objectionable posts, and has built-in effective systems for reporting and removing unwanted content as well as blocking abusers. Developers can make Android apps available elsewhere on the internet, but the Play Store is a main source of content for users.
"It's been a pleasure to work with Google, and we're glad they helped us to finally bring Truth Social to all Americans, regardless of what device they use," Trump Media and Technology Group chief executive said in a released statement.
