Google Approves Trump-Backed Truth Social for Its App Store

Google approved Truth Social on Wednesday for distribution through its mobile-app store after the Donald Trump-backed social-media platform agreed to follow the tech company’s content-moderation guidelines.

Google, a unit of Alphabet said Truth Social had recently improved the enforcement of its policies for user-generated content and agreed to police them going forward. Google in August declined Truth Social’s application to be listed in the Play Store, notifying the app of several policy violations.
