Google has approved Donald Trump’s Truth Social app for release in its Play Store, opening up a key distribution channel for the social network ahead of US midterm elections.
Google had previously declined to distribute the app, saying it needed to address the fact that it hosted violent threats and other content that goes against Google’s standards. Google, which is owned by Alphabet Inc., confirmed on Wednesday that Truth Social was now available.
