Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, should be removed from Apple’s App Store as it provides the former president and his allies an opportunity to continue their attacks on American democracy and promotion of violent extremism, according to a letter sent today to Apple CEO Tim Cook by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. 

Truth Social is currently only available for download on the Apple App Store, and figures who promoted the kind of election misinformation that led to the January 6 attack, including Donald Trump Jr. and Roger Stone, have active accounts on the app.

Truth Social is an outlet for Trump and his enablers to continue attacking our democracy, and by entering into business with him, Apple runs the risk of legitimizing and facilitating this dangerous behavior.

Apple’s own App Store Review Guidance bans “objectionable content” including “defamatory, discriminatory or mean-spirited content.

By the company’s own rules, standards, and articulated values, Truth Social has no place on Apple’s App Store.

At this critical time for our democracy, Apple must once again put its money where its mouth is and lead by example in banning Truth Social.
