Truth Social: content moderation issue keeps Trump app off Android phones

Google Play Store still has not authorized distribution of app, denying it access to 40% of US smartphone market

Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social has not yet been approved for distribution on the Google Play Store due to insufficient content moderation, a Google spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Truth Social launched in the Apple App store on 21 February, but the delay on Google Play marks a setback for the app. Android phones comprise about 40% of the US smartphone market.
