Google is barring Truth Social from the Google Play Store, meaning a reported 44 percent of Americans can’t access the pro-free speech application.
“Google is canceling conservatives ahead of an election. They’re not even hiding their efforts to sway elections anymore,” tweeted Media Research Center President Brent Bozell.
Axios reported that Google has not yet approved Truth Social’s Android app for distribution on the Google Play Store. CEO of Truth Social Devin Nunes said “when” former President Donald Trump’s social media app will be available on Android is “up to the Google Play Store.” […]
Former President Trump blasted Google’s censorship in an exclusive quote to MRC Free Speech America: “It’s a disgrace to our Country. I got them by surprise in 2016 and they said we’ll never let it happen again. They should be punished.” …

Is anyone going to stop them?
Maybe we should change up the whole ‘let’s get so complacent we become utterly dependent on our opposition’s infrastructure and are completely at their mercy and have to come to them hat in hand every time we want something’ strategy.
They did the same with infowars but it was Alex Jones so nobody cared. He started putting a place on his site where you can download the app right into your phone. Google cannot stop android aps, they can just make it a little harder to find.
Absolutely, why they didn’t do that from the beginning I have no clue. There are even open source programs that provide all the prebuilt modules to mix and match elements and make your own app in a few days. It would only take a few hours to add it to a download link on their own site.
Ether the devs at Truth are inept or their are deep state traitors in the ranks.
You are ! Congrats on your nomination.
Thanks. 🤪
Old news? (I only went there with a Brave TOR Private Window...no Google-Android for me!):

or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truthsocial.android.app&hl=en_US&gl=US
Change the name to FREE TRANS STUFF and it would immediately be approved and their algorithms would never even look for it.
Since Android is ‘Open Platform’ , you don’t need the ‘Google store’ to install the Android app. PERIOD.
Just go round.
Hmmm,
“ How to Install Apps on Android without Google Play Store
Robert Zak
Mar 24, 2019
One of the more sensible security features on Android devices is that you’re not allowed to install apps from outside the Play Store. Not by default, anyway. But seeing as there are plenty of great apps you can find outside the Play Store, you may want to venture beyond those walls every now and then.”
Your welcome.
The ‘somebody’ would have to be the inured party suing the play store.
But given Android is open source, there is probably no case.
Establish a reliable alternative store. Get the Phone to accept the alternative store. Problem solved.
Is anyone really surprised? 😔
GOOGLE/ANDROID doing what GOOGLE/ANDROID does. Same old, same old.
Didn’t the FTC and FCC stop this kind of consumer abuse in the past?
Just sayin’.
Try that on Applestan.
Only if you let it be up to google. Do what GAB did. Make it available for download and let people figure out how to side load and install it.
I just went to the Google Play store and I was only able to pre-register for it. Is it not available yet?
Did anyone think this wasn’t going to happen?
