Google Bars Trump’s Truth Social App
over ‘Content Moderation’ Concerns

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 8/30/2022 9:30:13 PM

The approval of Donald Trump’s Truth Social on Google’s app store, which controls access to 44 percent of smartphones in the U.S., is being held up due to “content moderation concerns,” according to reports. As Google’s decision hangs in the balance, a flurry of negative media coverage about Trump’s platform is underway. In a statement obtained from Axios, now being covered elsewhere in the media, Google said Truth Social’s approval on the Play Store was being held up due to content moderation concerns.

The headline tells the story. The whole idea of the necessity for a free speech platform, whether the misnamed "social media" or the once useful newspaper "letters to the editor" back to Ben Franklin's "Silence Dogood"pen name, is that free speech that is "moderated" is not free. Being barred by Google is perhaps an even greater honor than being banned by Twitter! Anyone who uses Google as their search engine should have their head bored for the simples.

"Content moderation concerns" means that Google Thugs are concerned that they can't be the ones to shut down Truth on Truth Social.....that concerns them greatly. They just can't support the Truth getting out.

The irony is that a true free speech platform must get approval from an App Store that is owned by an individual engaged in politically controlled speech. Free speech once was treasured in this country. It was lauded. I remember distinctly learning about free speech in school and how it is an integral aspect of our foundation. It was drilled into our heads that the most offensive speech must be allowed to be heard. Apparently now, the only ones afforded that privilege is democrats. Conservatives or even traditionalists need not expect the same treatment. Oppose democrat dogma and your access to the public square is cut off. Face it, democrats have jettisoned any respect or allegiance to our Founding documents and are running the country according to their political philosophy. We are no longer a nation of laws but a nation of men which is tyranny.

The Google Play Store says you can "pre-register" for Truth Social. Whether you'll be able to download remains to be seen. You can, however, download Rumble and other lesser used "truth" apps.

At some point prior to handing over the meeting to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, Jill Biden was confronted by a Daily Mail reporter who asked her to explain how Biden’s plan, which was heavily pushed by Sens.

Last September, scores of patent-holders demonstrated in six cities across the U.S. wearing black t-shirts that said, "Homo sapiens inventoris: Endangered Species." These men and women of ingenuity were protesting America's decade of stolen dreams: the years since the passage of the America Invents Act (AIA) of 2011 and the establishment of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), which together have made it easy for big corporations to steal their ideas and profit from them with impunity.

Biden to request $1.1 billion arms package

The Biden administration will request Congress to authorize roughly $1.1 billion weapons sale for Taiwan amid an increased push among lawmakers to show support for the self-governing island, Politico reported Monday. China has dispatched warships and aircraft across the unofficial “median line” dividing China and Taiwan every day since U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in early August, followed by two more congressional delegations. Escalating rhetoric has sparked concern Beijing may attempt to capture Taiwan by force, prompting efforts from the U.S. and other Western nations to fortify the island against the Chinese military, according to Politico.

Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Lou Dobbs have all been deposed over allegations they perpetuated election fraud lies and damaged the reputation of Dominion Voting by hosting friends and advocates of Donald Trump on-air. Dominion filed a lawsuit against Fox News in March last year, alleging the network deliberately spread a false narrative that its machines and counting systems were rigged in favor of President Joe Biden. It was a story that every news outlet in the world covered, but Dominion claims that Fox gave a particularly sympathetic ear to Trump's claims.

President Joe Biden has engaged in precisely the same behavior identified by his White House as “semi-fascist”: talking about physically assaulting his political opponent. On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked to explain how Biden’s claim that many Republicans, especially Trump supporters, were “semi-fascist” could square with his claim to be unifying the country. Jean-Pierre cited a list of examples — some more dubious than others — of Republicans talking (or joking) about physical violence against their opponents. “[J]ust last week,

Philip Klotzbach, a forecaster at Colorado State University specializing in Atlantic basin hurricanes, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday that "for the first time since 1941, the Atlantic has had no named storm (e.g., tropical storm or [hurricane]) activity from July 3rd-August 30th." Klotzbach further pointed out that August of this year could finish as the only August since 1997 to have no named hurricanes.

A Nobel Prize-winning German developmental biologist called the transgender movement’s claims “unscientific” and “nonsense,” and their plans to let teenagers determine their own gender “madness.” In an interview published last week by the German feminist magazine EMMA, Dr. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard cited hard scientific facts to counter the trendy notion that there are multiple genders. “All mammals have two sexes, and man is a mammal,” she explained. “There’s the one sex that produces the eggs, has two X chromosomes. That’s called female. And there’s the other one that makes the sperm, has an X and a Y chromosome. That’s called male.”

Speaking with a crowd of Democratic donors in Maryland, Biden reportedly said, “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the—I’m going to say something—it’s semi-fascism.” Now, Democratic politicians painting half of Americans as beneath contempt is old hat.
