    Google says Trump's Truth Social must scrub violent content to join Play Store. [Read free here]
    New York Times (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 79% • 3 min read

    Truth Social built a version of its app for Android devices, but when Google reviewed it, the company said it found content that included physical threats, and told Truth Social to weed out that material and resubmit the app. Since Jan. 6, 2021, Google has made an increasing number of content-moderation decisions. Its subsidiary YouTube has suspended Mr. Trump from making additional uploads to his channel.
    ...
    Truth Social’s parent company said it looked forward to getting Google’s approval for the app at its earliest convenience. Truth Social debuted on Apple’s App Store in February as its most popular download.
    ...
    Truth Social could offer a version of an Android app to download from a website without Google’s permission, something that Parler, another social media app popular with conservatives, has done to circumnavigate Google’s content-moderation rules. Mr. Trump’s app could also forgo Google’s approval process by putting its app on the Galaxy Store, which would allow Samsung phone users to download it.
  1. Different political viewpoint
    Google delayed Truth Social Android app over insufficient content moderation.

Is the Justice Department apolitical?

459 votes, 68 comments

Context: Attorney General Garland restricts political activities of Justice Department appointees.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ No - We constantly watch Justice enter the fray for and against both sides of the aisle. Justice is not monolithic. It doesn't think with one mind or speak with one voice. But the many minds and voices there, all have their own opinions, and it's very clear they have their own internal politics.”


“ Yes - This is a qualified yes - Mostly. Most of the day to day operations are sailing well below the rada...”
