　　according to reports, so far, the social media application Truth Social launched by Trump Media and Technology Group is still not available in the Google Play Store. Trump had hoped the app would challenge Twitter's dominance.

　　Google said the app lacked an effective system for moderating user-published content, which violated the Google Play Store's terms of service. Google said in a statement: "On August 19th, we notified Truth Social that their current submission of an app version violated several standard policies. We've reiterated to them that it is our terms of service to have an effective system in place to review user-posted content. Zhongde clearly requires that it applies to any application on Google Play.”

　　The restriction means that Android users, who make up 44 percent of U.S. smartphone users, cannot download the app. Google also won't let the app go live until the content issues are resolved. According to media reports, Truth Social also acknowledged the concerns raised by Google and said it would work to address them.

　　Devin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, had a different view. The former congressman is one of Trump's staunchest allies in Congress. He said the decision was up to Google, not Truth Social's policy.

　　"When will we get it on Android? It depends on the Google Play Store. We're waiting for their approval, I don't know why it's taking so long. If they can give it, of course," he said on the podcast. very good."

　　Google said Nunes' claims misrepresented conversations and communications between Trump Media and the Play Store. Google reiterated that Truth Social had violations, and the two sides have clearly communicated how to correct these problems.

　　Trump Media and Tech Group later hit back, saying Truth Social was creating a "vibrant, family-friendly environment." "We have no intention of litigating in the public domain over business issues, but for the record, the company has responded promptly to all inquiries from Google," the company said in a press release on Tuesday, local time. "We believe that regardless of the device used, Americans should have access to Truth Social. We look forward to Google's approval of the app soon."

　　Trump Media and Technology Group announced in early August that it would launch download reservations for the app on Android. Meanwhile, the Apple App Store already offers downloads of Truth Social. In addition, Google's YouTube also blocked Trump's channel. Android users can still access content on its platform through Truth Social's website.

　　Currently, Trump's app is facing a series of hurdles. Trump, who was previously banned from Twitter for posting about the Capitol riots, announced that he would launch a new platform to replace Twitter. At the time of the event, hundreds of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from confirming Biden's victory in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Trump has about 88 million followers on Twitter and only about 4 million on Truth Social.

　　Trump Media and Technology Group plans to go public through a merger with the SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) Digital World Acquisition Corp. The deadline is Sept. 8. The latter, however, is pushing for a one-year delay to the combined listing, warning shareholders that Trump's waning popularity will hurt Truth Social and that without an extension, the SPAC may have to go into liquidation.

　　Digital World Acquisition Corp. plans to hold a shareholder meeting on Sept. 6, two days before the now-determined deadline for the combined listing. Shares of the company fell more than 2% to $24.65 on Tuesday, well below a high of about $97 in March.
